Original Highland Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Moderate , Louisville

The severe-burden share is 25%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Jefferson County average of 42.9%.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. This is renter territory: 68% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 3,396 filings here across 14 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 74.2% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Louisville. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 43.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8/10.

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.
