General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Indiana in 2022. Information below was calculated on March 8, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
As of the 2022 candidate filing deadline, 50 candidates filed to run for Indiana's nine U.S. House districts, including 28 Republicans, 21 Democrats, and one Libertarian. That's 5.6 candidates per district, less than the 8.7 candidates per district in 2020 and 7.9 in 2018. This was the first candidate filing deadline under new district lines adopted following the state's decennial redistricting process. Indiana neither gained nor lost seats in the 2020 round of apportionment.
Five incumbents—all Republicans—did not draw any primary challengers. At least one Democrat and one Republican filed to run in all nine districts, meaning no seats would be guaranteed to any one party.
Of the nine districts, one—Indian's 9th—was left open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. The district's incumbent, Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R), announced his retirement from public office. The one open district represents the lowest number since 2014 when there were no open districts. There were two open seats in 2020, 2018, and 2016.
Presidential elections
As a result of redistricting following the 2020 census, many district boundaries changed. As a result, analysis of the presidential vote in each of these new districts is not yet available. Once that analysis is available, it will be published here.
