North Bexley Area Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 10,671 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 3–5.7

North Bexley Area takes in 3 census tracts of Columbus, OH and houses 10,671 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 51% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

Scores across the 3 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.7. A 2.7-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. 21% 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.

The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Court records carry 3,681 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. At $1,097 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 3/10. Food insecurity affects 26.8% of adults, 9.0 points above the national rate.

Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 22.1% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 8.6% in 2015, is well off that peak.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 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.
