Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Millersville
The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. SNAP participation runs 4.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.0 points below the Marion County average of 4.2.
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 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,212, close to the Indianapolis average.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $74,773.
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.
