Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Argyle Park

Filings peaked in 2008 at 20.6% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
