Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Arlington Park
SNAP participation runs 47.5% against 15.2% nationally. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10.
Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Set annual rent against average income of $35,086 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.
Average gross rent is $991, 23% below the Columbus average. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 950 filings here across 13 tracked years.
