Driftwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

32% 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. This is a renter market: 80% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 27%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. 15.7% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Food insecurity affects 28.2% of adults, 10.4 points above the national rate. Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, North Indianapolis and Historic Ransom Place score within a fraction of it.

Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,154, close to the Indianapolis average.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
