Maplewood Park maps to a single census tract in Fort Wayne, IN, population 3,913. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.7/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Fort Wayne rate of 28.5%.
28% 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.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 18 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 5.1% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Wayne, it ranks #20 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 14% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Trinity and West Central.
One tract means one number: 3.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
