Indian Springs Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,127 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Indian Springs maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 3,127. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 49% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,035 a month, rents sit 20% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 80 eviction filings.

4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 4.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 5.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #110 by risk, the lower third. At 24% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.

For a like-for-like read, Italian Village and Walhalla Park Place score within a fraction of it.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
