Ballard Eviction Risk: Moderate , Evansville

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.6/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 697 filings here across 10 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,089, 12% above the Evansville average. The worst year on record was 2004, when 28.9% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Evansville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 20.1% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 44% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 39% of renters. It tracks the Vanderburgh County average of 3.7 closely.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $58,325.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
