New Augusta is a 3-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN and houses 13,743 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Indianapolis baseline of 30.4%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.2, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. That places it #44 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis.
For a like-for-like read, Ameriplex and Sherwood Forest score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $75,655, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Average gross rent runs $1,107, close to the Indianapolis average. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
