Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hamilton Quarter

67% 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.

Against Franklin County at 41.6%, about half of renters here are cost-burdened. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 9%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

SNAP participation runs 8.2% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.7 points. Average gross rent is $1,407, 9% above the Columbus average.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $56,838.
