Scioto Peninsula is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH, population 630. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 90% 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.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Columbus rate of 28.8%.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.5/10. Court records for this tract carry 704 eviction filings.
At $1,470 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Columbus commands. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 25.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.0% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $58,500.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
