DePauw Avenue Historic District takes in 3 census tracts of New Albany, IN, population 8,392. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the New Albany rate of 29.2%.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 23%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 5.4. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Court records carry 530 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 12.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.4% in 2014, is well off that peak.
That places it #5 of 4 neighborhoods in New Albany. The closest comparables inside the same city are Shelby Place Historic District and Cedar Bough Place Historic District. Average gross rent runs $1,011, close to the New Albany average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
