Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Franklinton
Against Franklin County at 41.6%, 71% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.6/10.
The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Set annual rent against average income of $36,190 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Disability prevalence runs 46.2% against 31.5% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Adults with no health insurance runs 20.1% against 11.3% nationally.
Court records carry 2,373 eviction filings across 13 observed years. At $1,151 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Columbus commands.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 16.4% of renter households. 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.
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.
