Potter's Creek maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 4,491 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 9% against 28.8% citywide, putting Potter's Creek 19.7% under its own city.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
SNAP participation is 2.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 26 eviction filings.
3.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The worst year on record was 2007, when filings touched 5.9% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,411, 9% above the Columbus average of $1,295.
The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #110 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Italian Village and Walhalla Park Place score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $177,125, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
