Building characteristics
Per-property details from third-party property enrichment, aggregated across filings with characteristic data:
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| Median year built | 1982 |
| Median living area | 30,773 sqft |
| Median bathrooms | 1.0 |
| Median lot size | 1.72 acres |
| Owner-occupied (at time of enrichment) | 0.0% |
Housing stock + distress signals
Underlying housing stock and distress indicators across all 16842 Harrison County housing units, from US Census ACS 5-year data. National reference values shown for context.
| Indicator | Harrison County | US average |
|---|---|---|
| Vacancy rate (incl. seasonal + for-sale) | 10.0% | 10.5% |
| Share of owner-occupied units carrying a mortgage | 61.8% | 60.8% |
| Pre-1940 housing stock | 12.9% | 12.3% |
| Single-family detached share of housing stock | 79.3% | 61.2% |
| Residents age 65 or older | 18.8% | 17.3% |
Source: US Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS 2023 5-year). National reference values are ACS 2022 5-year US totals. Why these matter: vacancy rate is the strongest single proxy for distressed inventory; mortgage-carrying share defines the risk pool exposed to rate environment; pre-1940 stock signals deferred maintenance and renovation opportunity; senior population correlates with probate pipeline depth.
Rent benchmark (HUD Fair Market Rent)
HUD sets Fair Market Rents at the metro area level, so the same FMRs apply to every county within the metro. Harrison County sits within the Louisville/Jefferson County, KY-IN (FY 2026). Used to set Section 8 voucher amounts; investors use it as a defensible rent-estimate floor for buy-to-rent underwriting.
| Unit size | Fair market rent / month |
|---|---|
| Efficiency / studio | $966 |
| 1-bedroom | $1,047 |
| 2-bedroom | $1,272 |
| 3-bedroom | $1,625 |
| 4-bedroom | $1,891 |
Source: US Department of Housing and Urban Development, Fair Market Rents (2026). 40th-percentile gross rent including utilities. Why this matters: Section-8-eligible tenants are a baseline demand floor for rental inventory at these price points; FMR is the official ceiling for voucher-eligible rents.
New construction (market momentum)
Annual building permits filed in Harrison County from the US Census Building Permits Survey. Trend signal on whether new housing demand is accelerating or contracting in this market.
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| Total housing units permitted (2025) | 159 |
| Year-over-year change (2024 → 2025) | +0.6% |
| Single-family share of permits (2025) | 87.4% |
| Single-family units permitted | 139 |
| Multifamily units permitted (2+ units per building) | 20 |
Source: US Census Bureau Building Permits Survey, annual cumulative data. Why this matters: permits trending up signals strong demand for new inventory; permits contracting at the same time foreclosure activity rises indicates broader market softening (deals price differently). Multifamily share shows whether the market is densifying or holding to single-family stock.
Macro context: state home prices and national delinquency
Harrison County filings should be read against the broader housing-market backdrop. Indiana state home-price trend and the national mortgage-delinquency rate are the two macro signals most directly relevant to foreclosure exposure.
| Indicator | Value | Period |
|---|---|---|
| Indiana home price index (year-over-year) | +4.6% | 2026-04-01 |
| Indiana home price index (cumulative since 2020) | +67.6% | 2026-04-01 |
| National mortgage delinquency rate (30+ day, single-family) | 1.86% | 2026-04-01 |
