Weinland Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

The poverty rate is 45%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 26% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 83% 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.

Set annual rent against average income of $51,000 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 925 filings here across 13 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 22.5% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. At $1,431 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Columbus commands.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 16.9% of renter households.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
