The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.6/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

It sits 1.2 points below the Monongalia County average of 4.2. Food insecurity runs 7.3% against 17.8% nationally.

SNAP participation runs 6.8% against 15.2% nationally. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 23% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $73,641, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 42% of renters. Average gross rent is $912, close to the Morgantown average.
