Russell Eviction Risk: Moderate , Louisville

Against Jefferson County at 42.9%, 60% of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 1,638 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 26.7% 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 22.0% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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.
