Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: A: Best

These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Gaylersville

Severe burden reaches 30%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Food insecurity runs 6.2% against 17.8% nationally.

Average gross rent is $728, 20% below the Huntington average. It sits 0.8 points below the Cabell County average of 3.8.

Adults with no health insurance runs 4.3% against 11.3% nationally. 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.

Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 5% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 7% of average household income of $122,576, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
