Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Far East Columbus
The heaviest input here is tenant organizing strength at 5.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Franklin County average of 5.4 and below the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 0.90x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, a little under the pre-pandemic norm.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.8% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
