Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Brookshire
Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4.
The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $1,087, 16% below the Columbus average. The filing record is not thin: 909 evictions over 13 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2013 at 18.6% 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 15.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
