Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Martin Luther King JR Boulevard / Havenbrook Court

At $482 a month, rents run 56% under what the rest of Columbus commands. SNAP participation runs 50.8% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 48%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Housing insecurity runs 36.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Cost burden runs 33% here against 44.6% across Muscogee County.

On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 15%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

It sits 0.9 points above the Muscogee County average of 4.1. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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.

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.
