Bosart-Brown is a one-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN and houses 2,340 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Against a Indianapolis baseline of 30.4%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Average gross rent is $831, 28% below the Indianapolis average of $1,156.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. 19% 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.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
That places it #14 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. The closest comparables inside the same city are Venerable Flackville and Willard Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $41,192. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
