Analysis
What drives eviction risk in River Run
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 5.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Columbus eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
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 1.01x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
In CDC survey modeling, about 6.3% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 4.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
