Lincoln Park maps to a single census tract in Fort Wayne, IN, population 3,238. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Against a Fort Wayne baseline of 28.5%, 48% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 140 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $882, 12% below the Fort Wayne average of $999. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 13.8% of renter households.
That places it #1 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. Judgments average 8.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are West Main and CityScape Flats.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
