Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Natural Resources Park District
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. SNAP participation runs 47.7% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Average gross rent is $755, 42% below the Columbus average. Housing insecurity runs 34.5% against 14.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. The filing record is not thin: 727 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2009, when 20.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 11.1% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
