Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bluefield West

Average gross rent is $1,537, 30% above the White Knoll average. Running cool, economic stress reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.1/10.

The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. The voucher gap is 18.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

42% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Lexington County average of 37.2%. It sits 0.9 points below the Lexington County average of 3.9.

That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 20% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.1/10. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $78,293.
