St. Clair Place is a 2-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN and houses 3,328 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 30.4% citywide, putting St. Clair Place 13.8% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.8 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
15.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $981 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
Food insecurity affects 27.3% of adults, 9.5 points above the national rate. Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #27 by risk, the middle third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Watson Park and International Marketplace. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 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.
