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 North Indianapolis

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1.2/10. SNAP participation runs 34.5% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.7/10.

At $800 a month, rents run 31% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.1/10.

Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. 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 9.6/10 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 household composition measure is the most pressured. 48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
