Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Follansbee
The clearest offset is state political climate at 1.8/10. 45% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Brooke County average of 35.7%. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.1/10.
The voucher gap is 22.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10.
Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Brooke County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 1.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $74,848, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.
