What drives eviction risk in Wanamaker
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. At $1,571 a month, rents run 36% over what the rest of Indianapolis commands. What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. The voucher gap is 22.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. It sits 1.2 points below the Marion County average of 4.2.
SNAP participation runs 6.9% against 15.2% nationally. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.5/10.
