Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Argyle Park
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $42,438, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Franklin County average of 41.6%.
SNAP participation runs 29.9% against 15.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 476 evictions over 13 years of observation.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points. Average gross rent is $1,155, 11% below the Columbus average.
Filings peaked in 2008 at 20.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.
