Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Wilder Park
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Average gross rent is $788, 22% below the Louisville average.
The filing record is not thin: 1,252 evictions over 14 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2005 at 21.6% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
In a typical year about 13.5% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
