What drives eviction risk in Cottage Home
20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.
Cost burden runs 41% here against 46.3% across Marion County. SNAP participation runs 6.0% against 15.2% nationally. At $986 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.
Food insecurity runs 10.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.
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. Nationally it ranks #56,048 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $70,078, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
