What drives eviction risk in Sunshine Gardens
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.9/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.
Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.2 points. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. 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.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Against average income of $88,693, annual rent is just 15%. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,117, close to the Indianapolis average.
34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
