Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Vanderburgh County average of 4.8 and in line with the Indiana statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Part of this tract, about 20% of its area, sat in the redlined grade-D zone on 1930s HOLC maps, though its dominant grade was C ("Declining"). That lending history still correlates with present-day rent burden.
