Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far Eastside
Average gross rent is $720, 38% below the Indianapolis average. Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.
56% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Marion County average of 46.3%. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.
Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 8.7/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
