· range 4–5.4
Audubon takes in 5 census tracts of Henderson, KY and houses 13,237 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 40% against 28.3% citywide, putting Audubon 11.7% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.8/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.7/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records carry 431 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 10.5% of renter households. At $859 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Henderson commands.
Judgments average 4.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $47,945. 52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.4 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
