· range 3.1–4.8
Crosswoods spans 3 census tracts of Columbus, OH, population 15,064. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 28.8% citywide, putting Crosswoods 11.6% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
21% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.1 to 4.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. Filings are well documented here: 1,794 across 3 observed tracts.
Average gross rent is $1,471, 14% above the Columbus average of $1,295. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 11.1% of renter households. SNAP participation is 6.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #92 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 1.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a like-for-like read, Quarry Trails and Bridge Park score within a fraction of it.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.7 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.
