Castleton Eviction Risk: Lower , Indianapolis

28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.

71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Indianapolis.
