· range 5.7–5.7
Holly Hill spans 3 census tracts of Columbus, OH and houses 10,991 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Columbus rate of 28.8%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation is 32.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.9/10. At $989 a month, rents sit 24% under what the rest of Columbus commands. 18.2% 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.
On the high side is economic stress at 7.6/10. Court records carry 3,711 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 16.0% of renter households.
That places it #3 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. Judgments average 6.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
