Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookshire

Severe burden reaches 25%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 740 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2012, when 19.1% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 13.6% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 4.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Franklin County average of 4.4 closely.

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.
