Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Augusta
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 6.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,186, close to the Indianapolis average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $59,895. 44% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
