Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Georgian Heights
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 about the same as the Franklin County average of 5.4 and above the Ohio statewide average of 5.1. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 21.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 16.4% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,630 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 12.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 17.9% of renter households in 2002.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
