Our initiative, How is Indianapolis Doing, describes the city’s economic recovery since the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlights as of August 28 include Indianapolis unemployment rate increasing from 2.6% in April to 3.6% in June (nationwide increase from 3.4% to 3.7%); housing prices in the Indianapolis metro area declined in July 2022 for the first time in nearly a year, although since April 2023, it has been steadily increasing again with July’s median home prices being close to $300K; Central Indiana monthly average monthly rent hovers around $1200/month; and there is a decline in homicides, although the rate is still higher than both 2017 and 2018. It features biimonthly e-newsletter updates so you have a handle on how the Indy metro area is emerging from the pandemic.
