Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park View

What moves this score most is supply constraint at 6.8/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Wheeling eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores well below the Ohio County average of 4.2 and below the West Virginia statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 6.9% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 5.9% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of A ("Best"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
