Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Eastland
Food insecurity runs 36.0% against 17.8% nationally. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. Average gross rent is $963, 26% below the Columbus average.
It sits 1.1 points above the Franklin County average of 4.4. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,888 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2006, when 23.6% of renter households were served.
In a typical year about 17.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
