Taylor Square maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH and houses 4,374 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Columbus rate of 28.8%.
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. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Set annual rent against average household income of $44,424 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
14.7% 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. At $1,207 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Columbus commands. Among the 120 mapped neighborhoods of Columbus, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastwood Heights and Homedale Addition. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
One tract means one number: 5.7/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
