Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $39,988 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.

Court records carry 1,441 eviction filings across 14 observed years. At $1,232 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Louisville commands.

Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
