Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South-of-Main
Food insecurity runs 40.9% against 17.8% nationally. Against Franklin County at 41.6%, 57% of renters here are cost-burdened.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
The filing record is not thin: 1,000 evictions over 13 years of observation. At $1,102 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The worst year on record was 2003, when 22.1% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 20.6% of renter households face a filing.
