Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Rivoli Park

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

69% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.3/10. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $895, 23% below the Indianapolis average. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Housing insecurity runs 23.3% against 14.2% nationally.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
