Lincoln Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Fort Wayne

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Allen County average of 38.5%. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 140 filings here across 2 tracked years. Against the Allen County average of 3.7, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. Average gross rent is $882, 12% below the Fort Wayne average.

Filings peaked in 2018 at 13.8% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Fort Wayne. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 12.7% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.2/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
