Irvington takes in 3 census tracts of Indianapolis, IN, population 7,456. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.2/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.
Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2/10.
At $888 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10.
SNAP participation is 5.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #60 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. At 24% 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 Steinmeier Village and Broad Ripple. Against average income of $82,125, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.4 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
