Woodstock Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,292 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Woodstock is a one-tract neighborhood of Indianapolis, IN, population 5,292. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Indianapolis rate of 30.4%.

29% 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. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.7/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,371, 19% above the Indianapolis average of $1,156. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Among the 76 mapped neighborhoods of Indianapolis, it ranks #62 by risk, the lower third. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wanamaker and Forest Hills.

Against average income of $102,460, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
