About eviction risk in Ludlow, MO

Ludlow, MO has an eviction risk score of 3.2 out of 10, placing it in the low-risk tier for landlords operating in Livingston County and the state of Missouri. The score combines local political climate, court disposition patterns, cost-of-eviction estimates, tenant organizing strength, and the likelihood of new tenant-protective legislation in the next legislative cycle.

Census ACS 2023 5-year estimates show median gross rent as a percentage of household income is 9.0% — a core driver of eviction filings, because households above 30% of income on rent are statistically more likely to miss a payment after any income shock. Median gross rent in Ludlow is $634/month. About 43.3% of occupied units here are renter-occupied.

Economic stress: poverty rate 22.2%, unemployment 17.2%. Higher values correlate with higher eviction filing rates and longer court timelines.

Political climate: In 2020, Livingston County voted Republican by 57.1 points — classified as strongly landlord-leaning for purposes of rent-control or just-cause expansion risk.

What this score means for landlords

At 3.2/10, Ludlow is a lower-risk environment. Standard screening, documented notices, and prompt action on non-payment typically resolve quickly. Still follow your state's specific notice and service requirements.
