Stillwater Place takes in 2 census tracts of Fort Wayne, IN, population 9,396. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,315, 32% above the Fort Wayne average of $999. 24% 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. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 27% of renter households.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 38 across 2 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.7% of adults, 9.1 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 11.9% of renter households.
That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. Judgments average 4.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 8% 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.
Against average income of $93,825, annual rent is only 17%, a wide affordability cushion.
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.
