Louisville Eviction Risk: Moderate

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.6/10. The poverty rate is 30%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

19% 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 1.8/10. At $1,320 a month, rents run 18% over what the rest of Louisville commands.

Against the Jefferson County average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.9 points. The filing record is not thin: 898 evictions over 14 years of observation.

The worst year on record was 2002, when 70.6% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 20.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
