Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Thurber Village

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.3/10. This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Average gross rent is $1,684, 30% above the Columbus average.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points below the Franklin County average of 4.4.

Food insecurity runs 5.2% against 17.8% nationally. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. The voucher gap is 16.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Housing insecurity runs 5.1% against 14.2% nationally. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 204 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2004 at 3.2% of renter households. 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.

In a typical year about 1.8% of renter households face a filing.

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