Historic Kenwood maps to a single census tract in St. Petersburg, FL and houses 3,027 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Court records for this tract carry 793 eviction filings.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 18.4% of renter households. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 3/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 37% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.8% in 2017, is well off that peak.
That places it #7 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg. For a like-for-like read, Childs Park and Fossil Park score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,584, close to the St. Petersburg average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $78,929. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
