Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Riverbend

Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10.

Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

SNAP participation runs 7.8% against 15.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the OH average is 4.2, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Average gross rent is $1,335, close to the Columbus average. Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $84,201.

34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
