Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Louisville

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. At $1,311 a month, rents run 30% over what the rest of Louisville commands.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.1/10. 9% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 261 filings here across 14 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2003 at 18.5% of renter households.

In a typical year about 9.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

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