Central City Eviction Risk: Moderate , Huntington

SNAP participation runs 34.6% against 15.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Cabell County average of 48.2%.

Running hot, economic stress reads 7.9/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 20.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Against the Cabell County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points.

At $798 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Huntington commands. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Huntington. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

That is riskier than roughly 58% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
