Glen Echo is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 3,348 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 45% against 28.8% citywide, putting Glen Echo 16.3% over its own city.
The poverty rate is 33%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 8.1/10. SNAP participation is 30.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
At $1,085 a month, rents sit 16% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The filing record is not thin: 929 evictions logged in this tract.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 12.1% of renter households.
Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
