Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Eastmoor

71% 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, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. At $960 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Court records carry 1,075 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

38% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Franklin County average of 41.6%. The worst year on record was 2015, when 12.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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 10.0% of renter households face a filing.

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.
