Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North Bexley Area
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Food insecurity runs 32.7% against 17.8% nationally. At $963 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The filing record is not thin: 1,623 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2004 at 15.2% of renter households.
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.
