South Park View is a 4-tract neighborhood of Louisville, KY and houses 10,938 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Louisville rate of 29.1%.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.7 to 4.9, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 13% 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.
Court records carry 972 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 250.8% of renter households. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 15.5% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent runs $1,079, close to the Louisville average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $52,601.
43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.2 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.
