Fountain Square Eviction Risk: Moderate , Indianapolis

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

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 #44,239 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Marion County average of 4.2 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,071, close to the Indianapolis average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $66,172.

36% 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.
