Kensington Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Worthington, OH and houses 2,958 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10.
Cost burden runs 37% against 28.8% citywide, putting Kensington Place 8.6% over its own city. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 223 evictions logged in this tract. Food insecurity affects 6.4% of adults, 11.4 points below the national rate.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. Average gross rent is $1,063, 14% below the Worthington average of $1,232.
Filing activity peaked in 2007 at 11.2% of renter households. 4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 2.3% in 2015, is well off that peak.
Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Worthington, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Morris Addition and Worthingway score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $94,130, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
