Victorian Village Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

79% 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. Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 16.0% against 31.5% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Average gross rent is $1,567, 21% above the Columbus average.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 238 filings here across 13 tracked years. Housing insecurity runs 6.5% against 14.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 5.1% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 2.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 43% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

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.
