Running cool is economic stress, at 2.8/10. That places it #48 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. The closest comparables inside the same city are Benton House and Cottage Home.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,162, close to the Indianapolis average. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
