North Highlands Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 39%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

72% 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 35.5% of adults, 17.7 points above the national rate. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

18.5% 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. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 31% of renter households. At $880 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Among the 48 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Holly Hills and Rose Hill. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $42,188.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
