Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 16.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Court records for this tract carry 1,525 eviction filings. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.1/10. SNAP participation is 24.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 16.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 16.2% in 2015 against a 16.7% peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
For a like-for-like read, Homedale Addition and Tuttle Park score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 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.
