Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Louisville
69% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Jefferson County average of 42.9%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10.
Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 167 filings here across 14 tracked years. Filings peaked in 2008 at 9.0% of renter households.
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 2.7% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10.
Against average income of $75,919, annual rent is just 17%. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.
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.
