FHCCI: 24,938 eviction filings in Marion County in 2025 spotlight rising corporate landlord filings in Indianapolis
A Fair Housing Center of Central Indiana report says Marion County logged 24,938 eviction filings in 2025, with Indianapolis posting 14.0 filings per 100 rental units and ranking sixth of 42 major U.S. cities tracked by the Eviction Lab. The study identifies concentrated impacts on lower-income renters and communities of color and higher filing rates by large landlords.
The FHCCI’s State of Fair Housing Report — Marion County’s Top Evictors reports that multifamily complexes produced more than two-thirds of filings in 2025, and that corporate investors filed at elevated rates: Main Street Renewal recorded 285 filings across 849 homes (33.6 per 100 homes) and Heather Ridge Apartments/BSG Enterprises had 137 cases across 204 units. Local public-health data cited in the report says 48% of tenants facing eviction fell behind after job loss or reduced hours, and 27% after unexpected emergencies.
The report documents racial disparities: OPHS found two-thirds of tenants facing eviction in Marion County are Black and 44% of affected household members are children under 18; FHCCI notes majority-Black and Hispanic tracts face higher eviction rates than comparable majority-white areas. FHCCI urges policymakers to expand subsidized housing and strengthen tenant legal protections, arguing subsidized rents substantially reduce eviction risk.
