Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Hamilton Quarter
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. At $1,623 a month, rents run 25% over what the rest of Columbus commands.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Cost burden runs roughly one in three here against 41.6% across Franklin County.
SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 258 eviction filings across 12 observed years.
The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Filings peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households.
In a typical year about 3.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
