Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kettering
The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 2.1/10. At $783 a month, rents run 25% under what the rest of Kettering commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.7/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.3/10.
Food insecurity runs 8.4% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 6.6% against 15.2% nationally.
Court records carry 220 eviction filings across 17 observed years. Filings peaked in 2012 at 3.7% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
