Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Tract 54049021002
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 9.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
Cost burden runs 29% here against 37.8% across Marion County. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 3% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $98,750, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point.
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.
