Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Salem
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10.
It sits 1.4 points below the Franklin County average of 4.4. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. At $1,076 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Court records carry 616 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 20.5% of renter households. In a typical year about 15.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
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.
