Kensington Place is a 5-tract neighborhood of Carrollton, TX and houses 19,477 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Carrollton rate of 29.2%.
The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.3/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.7/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.3. A 1.3-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.6/10. At $1,914 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of Carrollton commands.
Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $110,833.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
