Ashland Eviction Risk: Lower

The clearest offset is economic stress at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 8.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

Against the Boyd County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points. Average gross rent is $778, 11% below the Ashland average.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.7/10. Against average income of $79,665, annual rent is just 12%.

Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
