Latonia maps to a single census tract in Wilder, KY and houses 4,697 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.5/10.
16% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.6/10. Average gross rent is $1,221, 15% below the Wilder average of $1,432.
Cost burden runs 22% against 25.3% citywide, putting Latonia 3.4% under its own city. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $70,072.
One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
