Iuka Ravine maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 4,225 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.7/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 45%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 60% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 64%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
This is a renter market: 99% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Set annual rent against average household income of $34,909 and the ratio lands at 44%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Food insecurity affects 30.3% of adults, 12.5 points above the national rate.
SNAP participation is 26.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 405 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 3.4% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.6% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Eastwood Heights and Homedale Addition score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
