Franklinton Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

SNAP participation runs 47.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 44.4% against 17.8% nationally.

The poverty rate is 50%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $21,549 and the ratio lands at 49%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. 83% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.1/10. At $884 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Columbus commands. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
