Beallwoods Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

Food insecurity runs 49.3% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 57%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 29%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 28.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $753, 32% below the Columbus average. Set annual rent against average income of $27,308 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

Against Muscogee County at 44.6%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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