Muncie Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Running hot, housing-court posture reads 8.3/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Delaware County average of 4.3. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Muncie. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #22,681 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 7.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.7 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

42% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. Average gross rent is $855, close to the Muncie average.

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.
