LaCabreah Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,810 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

LaCabreah is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Wayne, IN and houses 7,810 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Fort Wayne baseline of 28.5%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,306, 31% above the Fort Wayne average of $999. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 21 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 11.3% of renter households.

5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 3.5% in 2018, is well off that peak.

That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
