North Salem Eviction Risk: Lower

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 48% here against 39.9% across Hendricks County.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. SNAP participation runs 5.9% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.

That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 9% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Against average income of $88,953, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Hendricks County average of 3.6 closely. Average gross rent is $1,250, close to the North Salem 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.
