Herron Morton maps to a single census tract in Indianapolis, IN, population 2,453. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 50% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.
78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
24% 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. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $990, 14% below the Indianapolis average of $1,156. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #30 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Spades Park and North Meridian Street Historic District score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $52,439.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
