Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Columbus

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2/10. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 8/10.

SNAP participation runs 6.4% against 15.2% nationally. It sits 0.7 points below the Bartholomew County average of 3.8. On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 15% 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. Social vulnerability reads 2.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $96,221, annual rent is just 14%.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $1,093, close to the Columbus average.

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