Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kensington Place
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. SNAP participation runs 3.3% against 15.2% nationally. Against the Lexington County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points.
Housing insecurity runs 6.1% against 14.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,332, 14% below the Lexington average.
On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 7% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.1/10.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $98,958, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
