Ashland Eviction Risk: Moderate

This is renter territory: 79% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The dominant input is economic stress at 8.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Against the Boyd County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.8/10. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
