Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Commercial Street Historic District
The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.5/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 10%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $586, 9% below the Follansbee average. On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $48,949, an unusually wide affordability cushion.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. It tracks the Brooke County average of 3.6 closely. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
