Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The filing record is not thin: 1,894 evictions over 14 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2008, when 46.9% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 24.4% 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 7.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. 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.

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.
