Northcrest Eviction Risk: Moderate , Columbus

68% 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. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 41.6% across Franklin County. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 584 filings here across 13 tracked years. At $1,121 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Columbus commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.0% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.0% of renter households face a filing.

Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
