Meadowbrook takes in 2 census tracts of Anderson, IN and houses 4,536 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Anderson rate of 30.8%.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 35%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running hot is economic stress at 8.7/10. This is a renter market: 71% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
19.1% 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. Food insecurity affects 34.4% of adults, 16.6 points above the national rate. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.3/10.
Average gross rent is $837, 10% below the Anderson average of $925. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Anderson, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Lowmandale and Irondale. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
