What drives eviction risk in Castleton
Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.4/10. 36% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly below the Marion County average of 46.3%.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. 15% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. At $1,382 a month, rents run 20% over what the rest of Indianapolis commands. SNAP participation runs 4.5% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 9.1% against 17.8% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 3.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
