Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 349 filings here across 2 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $851, 15% below the Fort Wayne average. 8% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Filings peaked in 2017 at 16.2% 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 13.9% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #47,371 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
