Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Ameriplex
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,540, 33% above the Indianapolis average. Cost burden runs 57% here against 46.3% across Marion County.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 20.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $73,500.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
