Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mapleton
The severe-burden share is 25%, 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. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Cost burden runs 42% here against 46.3% across Marion County.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

On the national scale it lands near the 55th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.8 points hotter. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely. Average gross rent is $1,135, close to the Indianapolis average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,311. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
