Carmenton Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 2,471 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Carmenton maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 2,471. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 28.8% citywide, putting Carmenton 25.2% over its own city.

The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Set annual rent against average household income of $46,563 and the ratio lands at 32%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. This is a renter market: 69% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the high side is economic stress at 8.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 1.8% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Average gross rent runs $1,259, close to the Columbus average.

One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
