Whitehall Eviction Risk: Moderate

93% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Against Franklin County at 41.6%, 55% of renters here are cost-burdened. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

SNAP participation runs 34.2% against 15.2% nationally. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.0 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
