Far East Columbus takes in 4 census tracts of Columbus, OH, population 17,028. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.7, a 2.7-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. roughly one in three of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.8/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,200 eviction filings.
Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 10.4% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,212, 6% below the Columbus average of $1,295.
That places it #85 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Chaseland and Ravello score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $70,045. 48% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
