Highlands Douglass Neighborhood Eviction Risk: Lower , Louisville

31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Jefferson County average of 42.9%. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

The filing record is not thin: 211 evictions over 14 years of observation. At $1,114 a month, rents run 10% over what the rest of Louisville commands. Filings peaked in 2004 at 5.4% of renter households.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.9% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.7/10.

Against average income of $95,591, annual rent is just 14%. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

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.
