These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastwood Heights
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.9/10.
Average gross rent is $992, 23% below the Columbus average. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,038 filings here across 13 tracked years.
Housing insecurity runs 22.6% against 14.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2011 at 20.0% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
In a typical year about 10.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
