Eastgate maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 2,901. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 34% 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.
41% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Columbus rate of 28.8%. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1.2/10. At $892 a month, rents sit 31% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records for this tract carry 1,490 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 16.4% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 10.4% in 2015 against a 16.4% peak.
That places it #48 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Hilltop and East Linden score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.3/10 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.
