Downtown Fishers is a 2-tract neighborhood of Fishers, IN and houses 12,686 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Fishers rate of 26.5%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. 23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Court records carry 107 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 11.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 7.1% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,435, 11% below the Fishers average of $1,611.
Among the 8 mapped neighborhoods of Fishers, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Against average income of $100,706, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
With little internal variation, 3.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
