Riverview Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 31%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.7/10. At $1,054 a month, rents run 19% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 332 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 1.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
