Owensboro Eviction Risk: Moderate

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Against Daviess County at 35.1%, 43% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. Against the Daviess County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 146 filings here across 4 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,007, 11% above the Owensboro average. The worst year on record was 2009, when 3.2% of renter households were served.

In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 53% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
