Valley Mills Eviction Risk: Moderate , Indianapolis

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 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 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2. At $933 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.

This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.6/10.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $54,333. 54% 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.
