East Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. At $815 a month, rents sit 26% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.6 to 4.7. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The poverty rate is 19%, 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. 14.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

SNAP participation is 23.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #26 of 48 neighborhoods in Columbus. The closest comparables inside the same city are Wynnton Grove and Parkwood.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
