Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Wanamaker

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

Severe burden reaches 18%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Marion County average of 4.2. SNAP participation runs 6.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,250, 8% above the Indianapolis average.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 13% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $104,524, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
