Harrison West maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 3,073. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for around a third of renter households. Court records for this tract carry 262 eviction filings. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 3.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,429, 10% above the Columbus average of $1,295.
5.1% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #103 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Riverbend and Merion Village. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
