Hilton Heights Eviction Risk: Lower , Columbus

Average gross rent is $2,182, 97% above the Columbus average. The voucher gap is 96.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

roughly one in three of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Muscogee County average of 44.6%. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 2/10.

SNAP participation runs 4.7% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Muscogee County average of 4.1.

Housing insecurity runs 6.7% against 14.2% nationally. 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 5% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
