Indiana — financial stress by county
The Financial Stress Index (FSI) combines renter cost burden, eviction rate, and debt in collections into a 0–100 score. 92 of 92 Indiana counties have all three inputs and receive a score. The state average FSI across reporting counties is 52.0. Marion, IN has the highest score at 88.
Data note: The eviction rate component draws from the Princeton Eviction Lab's last national county release (2018). Post-pandemic eviction trends are not reflected in these scores — counties with high pre-2020 eviction activity may score differently if updated data were available. Rent burden and debt figures use 2024 ACS and Urban Institute data.
