North-of-Morse is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 1,250 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 28.8% citywide, putting North-of-Morse 11.7% over its own city.
80% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records for this tract carry 402 eviction filings. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.9/10.
Average gross rent is $1,138, 12% below the Columbus average of $1,295. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 9.6% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #78 by risk, the middle third. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $56,250.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
