Reeb-Hosack Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 6,499 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.6/10 · range 5.4–5.7

Reeb-Hosack is a 3-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 6,499. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.6/10, in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Columbus rate of 28.8%.

26% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 32%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.

At $1,061 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Columbus commands. Filings are well documented here: 1,858 across 3 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 26.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

15.1% 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. Running hot is economic stress at 7.3/10. The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 22.3% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 10.1% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #39 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. For a like-for-like read, King-Lincoln Bronzeville and Old North Columbus score within a fraction of it.

With little internal variation, 5.6/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
