Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 33%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.2/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0. The filing record is not thin: 456 evictions over 14 years of observation.

Filings peaked in 2007 at 19.7% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") 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.

In a typical year about 12.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 9/10.

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 most pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 46% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
