Tracking Neighborhoods in Indianapolis - New Indy Vitals Website

[Erin Donlan]

There always seems to be a discussion on which neighborhoods are good to invest in Indianapolis, so I wanted to point out a new tool that the city has unveiled to track different metrics for neighborhoods in the city - Indy Vitals. According to the Indianapolis Star, the site will track property values, crime, poverty and vacancy rates and allow you to compare neighborhoods on this data. It will also show how these factors have changed over the past five years and whether they are trending upward or downward.

It's of note that the data is not up to the minute (the article mentions that the most recent data may be up to a couple years old), but thought it was worth a mention as a good starting point for investors who are looking to find out more about a particular areas of the city.
