Columbus Eviction Risk: Moderate

At $1,816 a month, rents run 40% over what the rest of Columbus commands. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 25.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.6% against 17.8% nationally. Nationally it ranks #45,786 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Franklin County average of 4.4 closely. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $85,811. 28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
