North Kenwood maps to a single census tract in St. Petersburg, FL, population 3,168. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 71% against 33.9% citywide, putting North Kenwood 37.1% over its own city.
27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. Court records for this tract carry 471 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.7/10. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 20.3% of renter households.
At $1,498 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands. The most recent observed rate, 5.7% in 2017, is well off that peak. That places it #20 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.
For a like-for-like read, Downtown and Historic Uptown score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $64,922. 39% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
