HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Levassor Park

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10.

At $688 a month, rents run 32% under what the rest of Covington commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Kenton County average of 3.8. The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

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. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.8/10. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $48,039, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
