Indianola Terrace Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 70% against 28.8% citywide, putting Indianola Terrace 41.6% over its own city. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 51%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Annualized rent equals 40% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 26.9% of adults, 9.1 points above the national rate.

SNAP participation is 23.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #3 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, Eastwood Heights and Homedale Addition score within a fraction of it.

Its 2 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. Average gross rent runs $1,243, close to the Columbus average.

With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
