Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Englewood
Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1.1/10.
Average gross rent is $788, 32% below the Indianapolis average. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2.
Food insecurity runs 27.5% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Indianapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
