What drives eviction risk in Devington
78% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Marion County average of 46.3%. SNAP participation runs 38.6% against 15.2% nationally.
The dominant input is economic stress at 9.1/10. The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $46,761, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Housing insecurity runs 30.2% against 14.2% nationally.
At $1,443 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Indianapolis commands. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The voucher gap is 12.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Indianapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.1/10.
Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
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.
