Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Pigeon Hill

What moves this score most is tenant organizing strength at 9.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Monroe County average of 5.5 and above the Indiana statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 13.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 11.7% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
