· range 3–3
Brookfield maps to a single census tract in Owensboro, KY and houses 5,333 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 33% against 27.1% citywide, putting Brookfield 5.4% over its own city.
At $1,054 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Owensboro commands. Court records for this tract carry 31 eviction filings.
The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 5.0% of renter households. Judgments average 1.2% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
