Far South Columbus Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 19% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2.2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 299 evictions over 13 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.6% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 6.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Franklin County average of 4.4 closely. Average gross rent is $1,202, close to the Columbus average.

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.
