Northwood Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

Against Franklin County at 41.6%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Annualized rent equals 47% of average household income of $32,306, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 87% 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.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 585 filings here across 13 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2002 at 4.9% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 4.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
