Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Beechmont
The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.
Well under the midpoint, 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.
Average gross rent is $767, 24% below the Louisville average. It sits 1.0 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.
Court records carry 760 eviction filings across 14 observed years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 14.2% 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 9.6% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
