· range 3–3
Kendale maps to a single census tract in Upper Arlington, OH and houses 4,405 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 80% 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.
100% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Upper Arlington rate of 25.6%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The voucher gap is 18.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The filing record is not thin: 20 evictions logged in this tract.
3.0% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2004, when filings touched 1.9% of renter households.
On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2013, is well off that peak.
At $1,714 a month, rents sit 8% over what the rest of Upper Arlington commands. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Upper Arlington, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third. At 3% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Cranbrook and Brandon Heights score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
