Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Thruston
The score leans hardest on housing court bias at 5.4/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Thruston, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Daviess County average of 4.2 and in line with the Kentucky statewide average of 4.7. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 33 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 9.2% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 14.4% of renter households in 2009.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 16th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
