Devonshire Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,754 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Devonshire maps to a single census tract in Indianapolis, IN, population 5,754. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 30.4% citywide, putting Devonshire 14.0% over its own city.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.

The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 4.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.

Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #62 by risk, the lower third. At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Wanamaker and Woodstock. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent runs $1,180, close to the Indianapolis average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
