Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gahanna

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 1% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1/10. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 0%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
