Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Warehouse District
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 19%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
35% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Franklin County average of 41.6%. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Average gross rent is $1,498, 16% above the Columbus average. Court records carry 1,090 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
SNAP participation runs 7.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 10.4% against 17.8% nationally.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. The worst year on record was 2003, when 15.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").
