3 census tracts · pop 12,428 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10
· range 3.2–4.5
Millersville spans 3 census tracts of Indianapolis, IN, population 12,428. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Indianapolis baseline of 30.4%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. 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 3.2 to 4.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. At $1,073 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.
Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #40 by risk, the middle third. Rent takes 20% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
