Food insecurity runs 31.6% against 17.8% nationally. Running hot, economic stress reads 8/10.

Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Average gross rent is $959, 17% below the Indianapolis average. 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.
