CityScape Flats Eviction Risk: Moderate , Fort Wayne

87% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.

The poverty rate is 32%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.

Average gross rent is $748, 25% below the Fort Wayne average. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 87 evictions over 2 years of observation. It sits 0.9 points above the Allen County average of 3.7. Filings peaked in 2018 at 8.6% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 7.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
