Eastwood Heights maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 2,271 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 31%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
At $992 a month, rents sit 23% under what the rest of Columbus commands. SNAP participation is 28.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 12% 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.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,038 eviction filings.
Food insecurity affects 29.1% of adults, 11.3 points above the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2011 at 20.0% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Homedale Addition and Franklinton score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
