The Isles is a one-tract neighborhood of Fort Wayne, IN, population 8,376. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Fort Wayne rate of 28.5%.
At $1,366 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Fort Wayne commands. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 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.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 3.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 15 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 13.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 1.4% of renter households.
Among the 45 mapped neighborhoods of Fort Wayne, it ranks #32 by risk, the lower third.
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.
