Bridge Park Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,096 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.3–4.5

Bridge Park is a 2-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 10,096 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

20% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,596, 23% above the Columbus average of $1,295.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Cost burden runs 35% against 28.8% citywide, putting Bridge Park 6.1% over its own city.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.3 to 4.5. A 1.2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Court records for this tract carry 402 eviction filings.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 4.8% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #92 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.

For a like-for-like read, Quarry Trails and Crosswoods score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $87,096.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
