Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Berea

61% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Madison County average of 36.3%. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 8.5/10.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Madison County average of 3.9.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Social vulnerability reads 3.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the KY average is 3.9, so this tract runs 0.9 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
