Framingham spans 2 census tracts of Columbus, OH, population 8,346. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 28.8% citywide, putting Framingham 25.0% over its own city.
Food insecurity affects 38.8% of adults, 21.0 points above the national rate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Average gross rent is $955, 26% below the Columbus average of $1,295.
The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The filing record is not thin: 442 evictions logged in this tract.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.5/10. The worst year on record was 2010, when filings touched 6.5% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.7% in 2015 against a 6.5% peak.
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.
