Eastmoor Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 5,805 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 3.1–5.6

Eastmoor is a 2-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 5,805. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Columbus rate of 28.8%.

Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3.1 to 5.6. A 2.5-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.

Filings are well documented here: 1,221 across 2 observed tracts. Average gross rent is $1,114, 14% below the Columbus average of $1,295. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 24.7% of renter households.

Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #74 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 5.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, West Scioto and Crestview score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $69,210, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.

51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
