Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Evansville
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 1,315 evictions over 10 years of observation. Against the Vanderburgh County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points.
Housing insecurity runs 22.5% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2011 at 21.2% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.
In a typical year about 18.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
