Northeast Columbus Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 6,778 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Northeast Columbus maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 6,778. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

32% 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. 89% 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.

23.8% 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. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 29.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot is economic stress at 8.1/10. That places it #3 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.

Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,275, close to the Columbus average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
