Analysis
What drives eviction risk in North-of-Morse
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10.
12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 402 evictions over 13 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,138, 12% below the Columbus average.
The worst year on record was 2006, when 9.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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 5.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #42,813 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
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.
