Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklinton
The severe-burden share is 28%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Average gross rent is $870, 33% below the Columbus average.
Cost burden runs about half here against 41.6% across Franklin County. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. SNAP participation runs 26.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. On the national scale it lands near the 74th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
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.
