Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cherry Creek

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 in line with 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 1.69x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, above pre-pandemic levels.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,508 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 11.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.9% of renter households in 2005.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
