Cambridge Oaks is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Wayne, IN, population 4,991. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a Fort Wayne baseline of 28.5%, 23% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,167, 17% above the Fort Wayne average of $999. The filing record is not thin: 66 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 6.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.6% in 2018 against a 6.7% peak. That places it #22 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bohde Grove and Northbrook score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $79,063, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
