Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

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 Greenbriar

Against Marion County at 46.3%, 62% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Food insecurity runs 25.2% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Marion County average of 4.2.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

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.
