Latonia is a one-tract suburb of Covington, KY, population 2,354. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 48% against 29.6% citywide, putting Latonia 18.4% over its own city.
Severe burden reaches 36%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $1,243, 24% above the Covington average of $1,006. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. That places it #2 of 5 neighborhoods in Covington.
At 25% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Mainstrasse Village and Lewisburg. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $61,827.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
