What drives eviction risk in Whiskey Row

85% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 37%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10. roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Jefferson County average of 42.9%. Average gross rent is $761, 25% below the Louisville average.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,942 filings here across 14 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 12.3% of renter households.
