Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Edgewood
The clearest offset is supply constraint at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation runs 24.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 737 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 13.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 9.2% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
