The Eviction Risk Score is 5.7/10, in the Moderate tier. 30.3% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure.

Food insecurity affects 47.3% of adults, 29.5 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10.
At $887 a month, rents sit 32% under what the rest of Columbus commands. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Cost burden runs 37% against 28.8% citywide, putting Natural Resources Park District 7.8% over its own city. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.6/10. Court records carry 1,422 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastwood Heights and Homedale Addition.
With little internal variation, 5.7/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
