Winifred Knoll Eviction Risk: Lower , Bethlehem

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

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

At $913 a month, rents run 15% over what the rest of Wheeling commands. It sits 0.6 points below the Ohio County average of 3.6.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3.7/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $65,054, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

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.
