Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Downtown

The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs 53% here against 40.0% across Marion County. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.6/10.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $32,286, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation runs 30.2% against 15.2% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.2/10.

Against the Marion County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 152 filings here across 7 tracked years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 9.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 73% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
