Kenwood is a 2-tract neighborhood of Annandale, VA, population 8,582. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 56% against 34.1% citywide, putting Kenwood 21.7% over its own city.
At $2,545 a month, rents sit 32% over what the rest of Annandale commands. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 8.2/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.4 to 5.9, a 1.5-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Court records carry 476 eviction filings across its 2 observed tracts.
On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. 10% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The worst year on record was 2016, when filings touched 10.3% of renter households. The voucher gap is 10.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. That places it #5 of 9 neighborhoods in Annandale.
Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $105,041.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
