Broad Ripple Eviction Risk: Lower , Indianapolis

The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. The voucher gap is 27.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Marion County average of 46.3%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.

Disability prevalence runs 17.1% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Marion County average of 4.2. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Indianapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $125,757, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
