Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Reid

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. 53% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, above the Cabell County average of 48.2%. It sits 0.8 points below the Cabell County average of 3.8.

Food insecurity runs 10.3% against 17.8% 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. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 10% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $68,571, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Average gross rent is $860, close to the Huntington average.
