Indianapolis Eviction Risk: Moderate

87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 8.8/10.

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $27,000, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 35%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

Disability prevalence runs 44.9% against 31.5% nationally. Average gross rent is $878, 24% below the Indianapolis average. It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
