Kenwood Knolls spans 4 census tracts of Blue Ash, OH and houses 18,229 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Against a Blue Ash baseline of 23.0%, 46% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4, a 1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 966 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 6.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.5% of adults, 9.3 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 4.6% of renter households.
At $1,409 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Blue Ash commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.1% in 2018, is well off that peak. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
