· range 4.1–5.4
Beechmont takes in 4 census tracts of Louisville, KY and houses 15,935 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.1/10.
Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 4.1 to 5.4. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Filings are well documented here: 4,089 across 3 observed tracts.
The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 20.9% of renter households. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Louisville rate of 43.6%.
The most recent observed rate, 10.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. Average gross rent is $931, 8% below the Louisville average of $1,011. That places it #7 of 10 neighborhoods in Louisville.
For a like-for-like read, New Albany Downtown Historic District and Russell score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
