Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Newport

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.2/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10.

roughly one in two of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Campbell County average of 41.8%. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.8/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. That is riskier than roughly 35% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 3.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $82,361, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

It tracks the Campbell County average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,063, close to the Newport average. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
