Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Augusta
The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
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. On the national scale it lands near the 38th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. roughly one in two of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,172, close to the Indianapolis average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $70,339. 37% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
