Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kilbourne Heights
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. 23% 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, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. SNAP participation runs 4.1% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 7.4% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Richland County average of 4.2.
The filing record is not thin: 682 evictions over 5 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 46.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 38.4% of renter households face a filing.
Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 19% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
