Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far Eastside
Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.3/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
At $809 a month, rents run 30% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. 67% 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.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. Food insecurity runs 29.9% against 17.8% nationally. Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.3% across Marion County.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 17.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $56,994, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.
