Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Cherokee Park
33% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. SNAP participation runs 38.3% against 15.2% nationally. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income of $29,889, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 23.6% against 11.3% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1.
At $1,003 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Columbus commands. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 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.
