Crestview Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,367 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Crestview maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 4,367 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, Moderate tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 25%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

Court records for this tract carry 119 eviction filings. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 1.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #74 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, West Scioto and Eastmoor score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $1,269, close to the Columbus average. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
