Independence Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 37%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,151, 72% above the Independence average.

The voucher gap is 67.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.7/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.4/10.

It sits 0.8 points below the Kenton County average of 3.8. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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