Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Old Jeffersonville Historic District

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $1,301, 29% above the Louisville average. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 349 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2007, when 9.4% 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 5.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 51st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 41% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Jefferson County average of 4.0 closely. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $59,552.

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.
