Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kettering
What moves this score most is eviction process difficulty at 5.2/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Kettering, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Prince George's County average of 6.9 and below the Maryland statewide average of 6.6. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
The tract is predominantly Black and ranks around the 36th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a relatively low-vulnerability reading.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 37 eviction filings here over 4 tracked years, with about 4.1% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 5.8% of renter households in 2012.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
