Crown Hill is a neighborhood on the near Northside of Indianapolis. The neighborhood is named for Crown Hill, the steepest hill in Indianapolis.^[1] Contrary to popular belief, the neighborhood is not named after the nearby Crown Hill Cemetery.^[1]

Its boundaries consist of: 38th Street on the North, West 30th Street on the South, Martin Luther King Jr. Street on the West, and Meridian Street on the East.^[1] It is a participant of the Weed and Seed organization, which aims to combat high-crime neighborhoods in Indianapolis.

Recently, this area has become a target for revitalization. Like many inner-city Indianapolis neighborhoods, blight, urban decay, and crime have plagued this area for years.

Demographics

The estimated population (as of 2005) is 56,034.^{[citation needed]} The ethnic makeup of this neighborhood is nearly 95% African American.^{[citation needed]}
