I just ran through assessment data and picked a value of $250k as the point at which someone looking for a home would have to start these days.
North of Rock Road and East of Powerlines:
40% of the homes are less than $250k assessed value
Hillsboro Annex:
14% of the homes are less than $250k assessed value
That is a huge difference in the makeup of the two areas. Why are we being sent to Tobias and the Hillsboro Annex is going to Indian Hills?
The demographics are going in the wrong direction.
Paula Jean Park is a neighborhood of what my dad called "crackerbox" homes when he was a drywall contractor, here in the neighborhood we like to refer to them as starter homes.
When we first looked at our house in 1993, we were just happy to finally be able to afford a house.

Who's Out? Who's In? #1 In a Series
Last night I decided to do a 'deep dive' on the makeup of the neighborhoods being impacted by the boundary changes at Indian Hills.
I started with my own development which is officially 'out' [edit - per the proposed plan], 161 homes in total: Paula Jean Park, est. 1983, proud home of the famous, longitudinally challenged, oh-so nearly alliterative Paula Jean Powerline Park.
Taking a look at the latest tax data on the WaCo Intermap site you can get a couple facts, property coordinate and latest assessment - location and value.
Average distance from homes in Paula Jean Park neighborhood being excluded from IH boundary to the front door of the school is 808 feet, about 2 football field lengths if you include end zones.
To put that in perspective, it is 810 feet from the SW corner of the Indian Hills sport field to the front door of the school, 2 feet further.
Let me restate that for emphasis - families in Paula Jean Park being excluded are closer to the school, on average, than the back edge of the school property.
How does that make sense?
