Westfield Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 6.3% against 17.8% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 14.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,468 a month, rents run 12% under what the rest of Westfield commands. It sits 0.6 points below the Hamilton County average of 3.6. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $123,211, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
