Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Frankfort
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Against the Franklin County average of 3.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 173 evictions over 4 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,030, 9% above the Frankfort average.
Filings peaked in 2006 at 7.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 4.9% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.5/10. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.
