Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Louisville

The severe-burden share is 35%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $40,417, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 28%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.8/10.

It sits 0.9 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 7.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,102, close to the Louisville average. 45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
