Original Highland Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Lower , Louisville

23% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.

Against Jefferson County at 42.9%, 33% of renters here are cost-burdened. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 299 evictions over 14 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2005, when 9.4% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

In a typical year about 5.5% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #63,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
