Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Frankfort

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 69 evictions over 4 years of observation. Against Franklin County at 39.3%, around a third of renters here are cost-burdened. At $1,050 a month, rents run 11% over what the rest of Frankfort commands.

Filings peaked in 2008 at 3.7% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 31st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $77,273, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Franklin County average of 3.6 closely.

39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
