On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. 12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Court records for this tract carry 8 eviction filings. The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

Against a Fort Wayne baseline of 28.5%, 32% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne.
Judgments average 3.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
