Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running hot is economic stress at 8.1/10.
That places it #1 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. The closest comparables inside the same city are Historic Ransom Place and Rivoli Park.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.6/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $36,026.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
