What drives eviction risk in Washington Place
26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Food insecurity runs 26.4% against 17.8% nationally. At $994 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 67th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9.6/10. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter.
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.
