Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Friends and Neighbors
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. around a third of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Marion County average of 46.3%.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.
Average gross rent is $968, 16% below the Indianapolis average. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $88,245, annual rent is just 13%. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
