· range 4.6–7.7
Kensington Village spans 2 census tracts of Haviland, NY and houses 8,645 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.6/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 39% against 25.6% citywide, putting Kensington Village 13.1% over its own city.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.6 to 7.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 29% 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 supply constraint, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,110, 17% below the Haviland average of $1,342.
Running hot is eviction-process difficulty at 7/10. Against average income of $87,382, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
31% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
