What drives eviction risk in Whiskey Row
The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. At $234 a month, rents run 77% under what the rest of Louisville commands.
The poverty rate is 61%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 98% 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.
On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.
