Liberty Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 20.8%: 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%, around a third of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

SNAP participation is 3.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records carry 35 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 4.6% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2018 against a 4.6% peak.

That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
