Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Levassor Park
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.
Against the Campbell County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. At $1,179 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Newport commands.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $66,023.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
