Brentwood is a 3-tract neighborhood of Anderson, IN, population 9,207. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Anderson rate of 30.8%.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 22% 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.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.6 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
15.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.2/10. Food insecurity affects 26.6% of adults, 8.8 points above the national rate.
Average gross rent is $1,004, 9% above the Anderson average of $925. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Anderson, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Crestlawn and Irondale score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $53,714.
40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.6 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
