At $761 a month, rents sit 41% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The filing record is not thin: 732 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 12.5% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 9.7% in 2015 against a 12.5% peak. That places it #39 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Old North Columbus and Thurman Square. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.6/10 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.
