Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Indianola Terrace
Against Franklin County at 41.6%, 83% of renters here are cost-burdened. Set annual rent against average income of $24,265 and the ratio lands at 65%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. This is renter territory: 98% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
SNAP participation runs 30.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
