Carver Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Average gross rent is $713, 36% below the Columbus average. 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 nearby.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
