Owensboro Eviction Risk: Moderate

25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. The filing record is not thin: 76 evictions over 4 years of observation. It sits 0.6 points above the Daviess County average of 3.6.

Filings peaked in 2009 at 6.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 5.2% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 33% of renters. Average gross rent is $840, close to the Owensboro average.

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.
