Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Venerable Flackville
The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation runs 25.3% against 15.2% nationally.
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. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
