What drives eviction risk in Butler-Tarkington
63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Marion County average of 46.3%. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,906, 65% above the Indianapolis average.
The voucher gap is 48.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.
Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. SNAP participation runs 4.2% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity runs 9.4% against 17.8% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 22% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
