· range 3–3
Spring Mills spans 2 census tracts of Falling Waters, WV and houses 11,889 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a Falling Waters baseline of 18.5%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.1/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.8/10.
Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $83,681, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
Average gross rent runs $1,271, close to the Falling Waters average.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
