Altizer spans 3 census tracts of Huntington, WV and houses 6,238 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. 59% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Huntington rate of 37.2%.
30% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 30%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.8, a 1.6-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Disability prevalence reaches 46.7% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. 16.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Average gross rent is $813, 11% below the Huntington average of $912. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Huntington, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Southside and West Huntington. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $40,709. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
