Flat Rock Park spans 2 census tracts of Columbus, IN and houses 9,683 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 27.0%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.8/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 8/10. SNAP participation is 5.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #3 of 4 neighborhoods in Columbus. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
For a like-for-like read, North Columbus and Everroad Park score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $103,984, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,138, close to the Columbus average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
