Independence Eviction Risk: Moderate , Evansville

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Vanderburgh County at 41.1%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 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.

Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Vanderburgh County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $909, close to the Evansville average.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $49,068. 59% 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.
