HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Erlanger

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1.2/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Covington. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $69,199, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. It tracks the Kenton County average of 3.8 closely.

Average gross rent is $916, close to the Erlanger average. 32% 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.
