Original Highland Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Lower , Louisville

At $1,358 a month, rents run 34% over what the rest of Louisville commands. 25% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. 50% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Jefferson County average of 42.9%.

The filing record is not thin: 781 evictions over 14 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2002, when 12.1% 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 7.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 33% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
