Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Original Highland Neighborhood

The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Average gross rent is $1,308, 29% above the Louisville average. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. It sits 1.0 points below the Jefferson County average of 4.0.

Court records carry 462 eviction filings across 14 observed years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 16.6% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 7.7% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

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.
