Russell Eviction Risk: Moderate , Louisville

The poverty rate is 52%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $33,508 and the ratio lands at 39%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs about half here against 42.9% across Jefferson County. It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. At $1,092 a month, rents run 8% over what the rest of Louisville commands.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.5 points hotter.

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.
