Botany Hills maps to a single census tract in Covington, KY and houses 3,134 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Covington baseline of 29.6%, about one in five of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Average gross rent is $817, 19% below the Covington average of $1,006. Severe burden reaches 9%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Covington. The closest comparables inside the same city are Lewisburg and Mainstrasse Village.
Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
