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 Englewood

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.7/10. Food insecurity runs 32.8% against 17.8% nationally.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Marion County at 46.3%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. At $885 a month, rents run 23% under what the rest of Indianapolis commands.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Marion County average of 4.2.

SNAP participation runs 25.7% against 15.2% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the IN average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $37,303.

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.
