Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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 International Marketplace

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,404, 21% above the Indianapolis average. Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Indianapolis. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.1/10.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $96,144, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition 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.
