East Linden Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

37% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 51%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 30.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Set annual rent against average income of $33,295 and the ratio lands at 40%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Disability prevalence runs 44.0% against 31.5% nationally. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. Court records carry 1,015 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

At $1,109 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Columbus commands. The worst year on record was 2004, when 21.7% of renter households were served.

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