Richmond Eviction Risk: Moderate

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 75% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Madison County average of 36.3%.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2/10.

It sits 1.0 points above the Madison County average of 3.9. Nationally it ranks #34,278 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.9/10, 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. Average gross rent is $939, close to the Richmond average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $49,550.

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.
