Argyle Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,768 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.2/10 · range 5.2–5.2

Argyle Park maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 1,768 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 52% against 28.8% citywide, putting Argyle Park 22.8% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

18.6% 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. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 24.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Court records for this tract carry 476 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 20.6% of renter households.

At $1,155 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The most recent observed rate, 10.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #53 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Idlewood Manor and Westgate score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. 65% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 5.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
