Owensboro Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 51% here against 35.1% across Daviess County. The poverty rate is 46%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 18%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Daviess County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Court records carry 67 eviction filings across 4 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2007 at 4.0% of renter households. At $824 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Owensboro commands. In a typical year about 3.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
