· range 3.9–5.2
Lewisburg takes in 3 census tracts of Covington, KY, population 7,760. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Covington rate of 29.6%.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.9 to 5.2, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
The poverty rate is 21%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Pulling the other way is supply constraint, at 2.8/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Covington. For a like-for-like read, Mainstrasse Village and Latonia score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $997, close to the Covington average. 47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
