Edgewood is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 3,627 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. 42% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Columbus rate of 28.8%.
At $745 a month, rents sit 42% under what the rest of Columbus commands. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 1/10. 24% 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.
Running cool 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. The filing record is not thin: 737 evictions logged in this tract.
Food insecurity affects 27.9% of adults, 10.1 points above the national rate. SNAP participation is 24.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 13.5% of renter households.
Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 5.6% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
