· range 4.5–5.2
Westover spans 2 census tracts of Kennesaw, GA and houses 9,497 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Kennesaw baseline of 33.7%, 47% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
Running hot is rent-regulation exposure at 8/10. That places it #5 of 12 neighborhoods in Kennesaw.
At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Olmstead and Prichard Park score within a fraction of it. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,872, close to the Kennesaw average. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $92,960.
With little internal variation, 4.8/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
