These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklinton
Cost burden runs 58% here against 41.6% across Franklin County. The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
SNAP participation runs 35.1% against 15.2% nationally. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10. At $982 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
