Deshler Park maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 2,164. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
27% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Court records for this tract carry 1,444 eviction filings. 15.6% 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.
Average gross rent is $1,089, 16% below the Columbus average of $1,295. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 51.5% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 28.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #47 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, North Linden and Northgate score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
