What drives eviction risk in Indianapolis
The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 34.5% against 15.2% nationally.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Disability prevalence runs 45.4% against 31.5% nationally.
Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 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.
