Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Against Jefferson County at 42.9%, 63% of renters here are cost-burdened. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 63%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

This is renter territory: 93% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10. Set annual rent against average income of $30,000 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.

Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.4/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.

At $856 a month, rents run 15% under what the rest of Louisville commands. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Louisville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.4/10. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

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.
