Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Hampton
Cost burden runs 66% here against 41.6% across Franklin County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $37,349, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Housing insecurity runs 29.2% against 14.2% nationally.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 23.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
The poverty rate is 25%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.2/10.
At $1,042 a month, rents run 20% under what the rest of Columbus commands. Court records carry 1,395 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 32.1% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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.
