Stratford Forest Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 13 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2018, when filings touched 2.6% of renter households.

At $1,112 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Fort Wayne commands. That places it #32 of 45 neighborhoods in Fort Wayne. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 26% 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 Liberty Hills and Parkway Hills.

Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
