Greenbriar Eviction Risk: Lower

5 census tracts · pop 20,685 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3–5

Greenbriar is a 5-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN and houses 20,685 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Indianapolis baseline of 30.4%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.

Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,069, 8% below the Indianapolis average of $1,156. That places it #43 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis.

For a like-for-like read, Wynbrooke and Millersville score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $83,857, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.

43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
