Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Central Bexley Area
22% 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.
Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.4 points. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $1,028, 19% below the Bexley average.
SNAP participation runs 6.2% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 9.0% against 17.8% nationally. Court records carry 727 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Filings peaked in 2002 at 17.9% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
