Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #19 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $40,743. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
