Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mayfair

Cost burden runs 79% here against 41.6% across Franklin County. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 52.7% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 56.9% against 15.2% nationally. Annualized rent equals 51% of average household income of $25,086, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 57%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 86% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. On the softer side, 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. At $1,060 a month, rents run 18% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
