Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Vassor Village

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. SNAP participation runs 25.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 20%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Court records carry 1,056 eviction filings across 13 observed years. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 23.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus.
