Ameriplex Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,556 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.7/10 · range 3.7–3.7

Ameriplex maps to a single census tract in Indianapolis, IN, population 4,556. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. 58% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.

The severe-burden share is 31%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. At $1,540 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of Indianapolis commands.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 20.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot is supply constraint at 7/10. Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #44 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Sherwood Forest and New Augusta score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $73,500. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
