Venerable Flackville is a 5-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN and houses 25,797 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.2/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 54% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.
26% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
21.1% 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. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 20.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,048 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.
That places it #14 of 76 neighborhoods in Indianapolis. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The 5 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $48,032. 59% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
