Carver Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 38.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $713, 36% below the Columbus average of $1,106. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Food insecurity affects 39.0% of adults, 21.2 points above the national rate. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.4/10.

The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. That places it #1 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.2/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $28,056.

One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
