Analysis

What drives eviction risk in International Marketplace

Average gross rent is $1,459, 26% above the Indianapolis average. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.4% against 11.3% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. 39% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Marion County average of 46.3%.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. SNAP participation runs 27.2% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
