· range 3–3
Gaylersville maps to a single census tract in Huntington, WV and houses 3,177 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. 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.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10. Against a Huntington baseline of 37.2%, 30% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $728, 20% below the Huntington average of $912. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10.
Food insecurity affects 6.2% of adults, 11.6 points below the national rate. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #10 of 12 neighborhoods in Huntington. At 5% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Reid and Walnut Park score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
