Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Worthingway
The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Food insecurity runs 3.5% against 17.8% nationally.
Running hot, 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, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 13 evictions over 8 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 2.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2004, when 11.1% of renter households were served. 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.
In a typical year about 4.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
