Project QT maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 2,934 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 56% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
At $1,663 a month, rents sit 28% over what the rest of Columbus commands. Court records for this tract carry 213 eviction filings.
The voucher gap is 15.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The worst year on record was 2005, when filings touched 8.4% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #99 by risk, the lower third.
Against average income of $105,268, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3.5/10 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.
