What makes a healthy neighborhood?
Purdue University Fort Wayne Community Research Institute for NeighborLink Fort Wayne prepared a quantitative and qualitative assessment of five Fort Wayne neighborhoods to answer this question. West Central was one of those neighborhoods. They presented their results in October 2019.
Some of the questions the study explores:
What constitutes a healthy neighborhood?
Is it a location with rising home values?
Does it have an active neighborhood association?
Do neighbors get together for block parties or fundraisers?
What about crime like thefts from vehicles or more violent acts?
