Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

At $644 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Marion commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

The poverty rate is 22%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 322 filings here across 7 tracked years.

It sits 0.7 points above the Marion County average of 4.4. The worst year on record was 2018, when 16.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 11.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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