Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Highlands Douglass Neighborhood
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 5.1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Jefferson County average of 5.5 and in line with the Kentucky statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 40 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 3.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.5% of renter households in 2005.
