Millbrook Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

The severe-burden share is 36%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income of $33,491, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 27.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint, 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 $1,071 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

The filing record is not thin: 2,941 evictions over 13 years of observation.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
