Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Millersville
At $99 a month, rents run 91% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10.
Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
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 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 5.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 2% of average household income of $59,493, an unusually wide affordability cushion. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
