Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Mayfair
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.6/10. Against the Franklin County average of 4.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 2.6 points. 54% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Franklin County average of 41.6%.
Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.6/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
At $958 a month, rents run 16% under what the rest of Whitehall commands. The filing record is not thin: 592 evictions over 13 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2015 at 15.5% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Columbus. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
In a typical year about 11.4% of renter households face a filing.
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.
