Mid America Industrial Park Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, 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 eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Filings are well documented here: 439 across 3 observed tracts.

Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 7.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.9% in 2009, is well off that peak.

At $978 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Owensboro commands. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.7 points apart at the extremes. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
