Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Steinmeier Village
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10.
Against Marion County at 46.3%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
SNAP participation runs 5.2% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Marion County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 9.9% against 17.8% nationally.
At $1,297 a month, rents run 12% over what the rest of Indianapolis commands. 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. That is riskier than roughly 25% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $74,375.
48% 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.
