Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Kensington Place
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.5/10.
At $2,242 a month, rents run 29% over what the rest of Carrollton commands. Against Denton County at 45.5%, 36% of renters here are cost-burdened.
Running hot, court filing pressure reads 8.3/10. The voucher gap is 19.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the Denton County average of 3.8, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.7 points.
Nationally it ranks #65,414 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 3.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $111,042.
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.
