Forest Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

28% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. SNAP participation is 29.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 32.9% of adults, 15.1 points above the national rate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.3/10. At $1,052 a month, rents sit 19% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

Court records carry 8,390 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Running hot is economic stress at 7.2/10. The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 26.5% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 11.2% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Tuttle Park and Riverview. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
