East Hampton Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 14,333 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.9/10 · range 5.7–7.1

East Hampton spans 5 census tracts of Columbus, OH and houses 14,333 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.9/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 28.8% citywide, putting East Hampton 16.1% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 33.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Food insecurity affects 34.9% of adults, 17.1 points above the national rate. The 5 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 5.7 to 7.1, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.2/10.

Filings are well documented here: 2,729 across 4 observed tracts. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.

Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 40.9% of renter households. At $1,148 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The most recent observed rate, 13.5% in 2015, is well off that peak.

Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
