Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookfield

The heaviest input here is supply constraint at 4.3/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Owensboro eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Daviess County average of 4.2 and below the Kentucky statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 42nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 31 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 2.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.0% of renter households in 2009.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
