Benning Hills Eviction Risk: Lower

This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.3 to 5, a 1.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

17% 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. SNAP participation is 29.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 19.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

At $1,328 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Columbus commands. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.

Food insecurity affects 29.7% of adults, 11.9 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Cost burden runs 34% against 30.3% citywide, putting Benning Hills 3.4% over its own city.

That places it #30 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $61,935.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
