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 Park View

At $1,122 a month, rents run 41% over what the rest of Wheeling commands. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.2/10.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally. Housing insecurity runs 6.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Ohio County average of 3.6, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.6 points. 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 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 2.4/10. Against average income of $80,060, annual rent is just 17%.

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.
