North Bexley Area Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

Cost burden runs 57% here against 41.6% across Franklin County. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8.8/10. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 72% 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.

Housing insecurity runs 29.9% against 14.2% nationally. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10.

At $969 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Columbus commands. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,999 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2012 at 22.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
