At $1,032 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The filing record is not thin: 1,464 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 15.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus.
