Southside Eviction Risk: Moderate , Huntington

Set annual rent against average income of $17,670 and the ratio lands at 63%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

65% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Cabell County average of 48.2%. The poverty rate is 68%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

98% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.0 points above the Cabell County average of 3.8.

Housing insecurity runs 22.1% against 14.2% nationally. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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.

On the national scale it lands near the 58th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
