Homewood Eviction Risk: Moderate , North Kensington

What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.8/10. At $2,591 a month, rents run 42% over what the rest of North Kensington commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, local political climate reads 8.2/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Montgomery County average of 6.0. Housing insecurity runs 7.1% against 14.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $179,457, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 2%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
