Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Summit View Forest

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.

66% 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. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.4/10. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Franklin County average of 4.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,375, close to the Columbus average.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $66,455.
