Olde Towne East is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 2,396 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 28.8% citywide, putting Olde Towne East 17.7% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,025, 21% below the Columbus average of $1,295.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10. The filing record is not thin: 847 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2003, when filings touched 15.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #88 by risk, the lower third.
For a like-for-like read, Victorian Village and Summit Plain score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
