Beechview is a 3-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 14,309. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,630, 26% above the Columbus average of $1,295. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.1. A 1.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
around a third of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Columbus rate of 28.8%. Filings are well documented here: 1,201 across 3 observed tracts. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.7% of adults, 10.1 points below the national rate. The voucher gap is 12.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 7.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.2% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #95 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.7 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
