28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Cost burden runs 54% here against 42.9% across Jefferson County.

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.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Jefferson County average of 4.0 closely.

Average gross rent is $1,083, close to the Louisville average.
