At $911 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Louisville commands. Recent filings have not receded much: 12.1% in 2015 against a 16.7% peak.
That places it #5 of 10 neighborhoods in Louisville. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $44,184. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
