Kenilworth Eviction Risk: Lower

27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Chester County at 41.5%, 47% of renters here are cost-burdened.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 3/10. It sits 0.9 points below the Chester County average of 4.4. Court records carry 131 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2002 at 10.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 7.4% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 1.3/10.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $120,057, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.1 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 3%, 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.
