Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kenwood
The score leans hardest on rent-control risk at 8.7/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Hopewell City County average of 7.1 and above the Virginia statewide average of 5.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,727 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 40.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 56.7% of renter households in 2015.
The tract is White and Black and ranks around the 61st percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
