East Swinney takes in 2 census tracts of Fort Wayne, IN, population 6,435. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 47% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Fort Wayne rate of 28.5%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Food insecurity affects 36.2% of adults, 18.4 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 26.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 539 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $880, 12% below the Fort Wayne average of $999. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 18.0% of renter households. That places it #13 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne.
Judgments average 11.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Lafayette Place and North Highhlands score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
