What drives eviction risk in Wilder Park
The poverty rate is 42%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Severe burden reaches 27%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.1/10.
73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.
Average gross rent is $807, 20% below the Louisville average. Against Jefferson County at 42.9%, 50% of renters here are cost-burdened. The filing record is not thin: 1,074 evictions over 14 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2015, when 21.2% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.
In a typical year about 15.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
