Thurber Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Columbus, OH and houses 3,031 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.3/10. At $1,684 a month, rents sit 30% over what the rest of Columbus commands.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 29% of renter households. SNAP participation is 2.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Disability prevalence reaches 18.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The filing record is not thin: 204 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 3.2% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #110 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
