Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Cherry Creek

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2/10. Average gross rent is $1,012, 22% below the Columbus average.

The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. It sits 1.3 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4.

Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,154 filings here across 13 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.9% of renter households were served. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

In a typical year about 11.3% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 74% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.9/10.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
