North Franke Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,461 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

North Franke Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Wayne, IN, population 2,461. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 55% against 28.5% citywide, putting North Franke Park 26.2% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Court records for this tract carry 69 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2017 at 5.8% of renter households. At $904 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Fort Wayne commands.

The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #1 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $49,277.

One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
