Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Parkside

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 136 filings here across 14 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2011, when 6.5% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). 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. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.2/10.

Against average income of $94,770, annual rent is just 17%. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,377, close to the St. Matthews average.
