Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Masthead of Geist Harbours

The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Marion County average of 5.4 and below the Indiana statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.71x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 0th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
