There's a lot of reasons but #1 is probably crime, followed by blight. "The North Side" is over a dozen neighborhoods. Perry South, Marshall-Shadeland, and a few others are not the 'desirable' ones.

When people talk about how much they love the North Side, how great it is, etc., they mostly mean the Mexican War Streets.

School quality is probably is probably the bigger factor in Brighton heights than crime or blight. Perry has a much worse crime and blight problem. It’s interesting how much crime can change block to block. Point breeze is a wealthy neighborhood but borders Homewood and the infamous killing fields
