Warehouse District Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,423 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

Warehouse District maps to a single census tract in Columbus, OH, population 3,423. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. This is a renter market: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 28.8% citywide, putting Warehouse District 6.6% over its own city. The poverty rate is 20%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

The filing record is not thin: 1,090 evictions logged in this tract. Average gross rent is $1,498, 16% above the Columbus average of $1,295. Filing activity peaked in 2003 at 15.2% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #55 of 120 neighborhoods in Columbus. The closest comparables inside the same city are The Village At Deer Creek and Briggsdale.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $74,848.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
