What drives eviction risk in Indianola Terrace
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Severe burden reaches 34%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
This is renter territory: 90% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.
Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,195, close to the Columbus average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $47,500.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
