Levassor Park Eviction Risk: Moderate , Covington

At $341 a month, rents run 66% under what the rest of Covington commands. The poverty rate is 46%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1/10.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. It sits 1.4 points above the Kenton County average of 3.8. 44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Kenton County average of 37.9%.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $26,306, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
