River Run is a 2-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 13,053. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 22% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. At $1,550 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Columbus commands.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.7/10. Court records for this tract carry 498 eviction filings.
Disability prevalence reaches 18.9% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
8% 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. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 11.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.7% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #107 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Sharon Heights and Schumacher Place score within a fraction of it.
With little internal variation, 3.1/10 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.
