Parkway Hills maps to a single census tract in Fort Wayne, IN, population 3,645. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Fort Wayne rate of 28.5%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 17%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Average gross rent is $1,196, 20% above the Fort Wayne average of $999. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.
SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2017, when filings touched 2.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 0.6% in 2018, is well off that peak. That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
