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 Brendonshire

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. Against Marion County at 46.3%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. 14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Marion County average of 4.2, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $1,033, 11% below the Indianapolis average. 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 27th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $72,984, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
