Mayfair takes in 4 census tracts of Columbus, OH and houses 12,746 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.4/10, in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 60% against 28.8% citywide, putting Mayfair 31.2% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 36%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 35.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. This is a renter market: 70% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.6% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 5.7 to 7. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Average gross rent is $1,044, 19% below the Columbus average of $1,295. Filings are well documented here: 5,694 across 4 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.9/10.
The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 29.3% of renter households.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 6.4 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
