Brittany Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 7,265 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.5/10 · range 5.4–5.7

Brittany Hills spans 2 census tracts of Columbus, OH, population 7,265. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 45% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

16.9% 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. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 794 across 2 observed tracts.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 27.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2015, is well off that peak.

That places it #44 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Brookshire and Reeb-Hosack score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Its 2 tracts score within 0.3 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,282, close to the Columbus average.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
