Cherry Creek takes in 4 census tracts of Columbus, OH and houses 20,309 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 38% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Columbus rate of 28.8%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 5.7. A 1.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
18% 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. Filings are well documented here: 3,605 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 16.9% of renter households.
At $1,177 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The most recent observed rate, 7.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #66 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Knolls-Thomas and Georgian Heights. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $64,156.
50% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.7 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.
