Rose Hill Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

Cost burden runs 61% here against 44.6% across Muscogee County. 34% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 56%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 48% of average household income of $17,295, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Average gross rent is $699, 37% below the Columbus average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. 85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 49.9% against 31.5% nationally. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.3/10.

It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

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.
