Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Beechmont

30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The poverty rate is 38%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 9.2/10.

This is renter territory: 73% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson County average of 4.0.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 2,161 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2013, when 20.9% of renter households were served. 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.

In a typical year about 12.6% of renter households face a filing. 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 9.6/10, 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. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
