Sawyer Manor Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,196 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.7/10 · range 5.7–5.7

Sawyer Manor maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 3,196. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 39% 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.

Annualized rent equals 54% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Against a Columbus baseline of 28.8%, 58% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 42.0% 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.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 44.4% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 75%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 95% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.

Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. At $930 a month, rents sit 28% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 1,142 eviction filings. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 13.8% of renter households.

Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
