Chatham-Arch maps to a single census tract in Indianapolis, IN, population 3,424. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Average gross rent is $1,523, 32% above the Indianapolis average of $1,156. This is a renter market: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 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.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The voucher gap is 18.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #33 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Washington Place and North Meridian Street Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $70,234.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
