Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Brookfield

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.2/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10.

At $1,054 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Owensboro commands. The filing record is not thin: 31 evictions over 4 years of observation.

It sits 0.6 points below the Daviess County average of 3.6. Filings peaked in 2009 at 5.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.4% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $82,689, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 33% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

25% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
