Eastside
Neighborhood Intelligence

CivicScout counts Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department offense reports that carry a map location, and traffic crashes, inside the Eastside neighborhood outline. Citywide, about 1 in 25 offense reports, and about the same share of reports of serious violent crime, carries no map location and is not counted, and IMPD’s public data holds no rape, sexual-assault or fondling report at all (the few filed as assaults after a rape or child-molestation call are shown at block level, about 100 meters, with no case number), so the counts understate crime, violent crime included, and cannot show that an area has little of it. Incidents handled by the Marion County Sheriff, the State Police, campus, hospital and airport police and by the police departments of Beech Grove, Lawrence, Speedway and Southport do not appear. Crash records arrive about five weeks late, so crash counts stop five weeks before today. The Community Hospital East campus, inside this area, is not covered by IMPD in the data (IMPD files almost no reports from its grounds), so incidents on the campus are mostly not in the feed.

The City of Indianapolis does not publish building-permit data with locations, so CivicScout has no permit information for Eastside; the absence of permit data here is not a finding about construction.

Zoning in Eastside is mostly Dwelling District 5, Dwelling District 4 and Industrial District 2, by area; the exact district varies by parcel.

A CivicScout report for any Eastside address combines police reports, traffic crashes, 311 requests, parks and zoning within a half mile. More than 1 in 4 of the City’s 311 requests carries no map location and is not shown, so an address with none listed may still have had some.
