University Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Indianapolis

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $914, 21% below the Indianapolis average. Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points.

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 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $66,056, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 50% of renters. 53% 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.
