Georgian Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 7,365. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.7/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Columbus rate of 28.8%. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The filing record is not thin: 2,630 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 21.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2002 at 17.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 9.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $1,209, 7% below the Columbus average of $1,295. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #66 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Knolls-Thomas and The Circles score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
