Tract 54039013800 Eviction Risk: Moderate

78% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Kanawha County average of 36.9%. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 47%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $31,053, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Running cool, local political climate reads 1.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

It sits 1.1 points above the Kanawha County average of 3.9. Housing insecurity runs 22.6% against 14.2% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 61% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the WV average is 3.8, so this tract runs 1.2 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Model confidence here is 65%, lower than typical because some ACS inputs for this tract carry wide margins of error, so read the score as a band, not a point. Average gross rent runs $855 a month.

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.
