Lawrence Eviction Risk: Lower

around two-thirds of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Marion County average of 46.3%. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.7/10. At $1,506 a month, rents run 28% over what the rest of Lawrence commands. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Marion County average of 4.2. The voucher gap is 17.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 19% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 3.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
