Bramblewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN, population 4,431. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. 17% 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.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10. SNAP participation is 6.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #55 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,219, close to the Indianapolis average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
