Ivy Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN, population 2,845. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 53% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
SNAP participation is 2.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,356, 17% above the Indianapolis average of $1,156. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
That places it #62 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, Wanamaker and Forest Hills score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 13% 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.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
