Highlands Douglass Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Lower

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 16% 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 583 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.

Against a Louisville baseline of 43.6%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 18.0% of renter households.

At $1,123 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Louisville commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #11 of 10 neighborhoods in Louisville.

At 19% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Bonnycastle Neighborhood and Original Highland Neighborhood score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Its 6 tracts score within 0.1 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
