Southside Eviction Risk: Moderate , Huntington

Set annual rent against average income of $14,000 and the ratio lands at 62%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The dominant input is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 60%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

98% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Disability prevalence runs 54.2% against 31.5% nationally. Food insecurity runs 38.2% against 17.8% nationally.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $726, 20% below the Huntington average.

Against Cabell County at 48.2%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the Cabell County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.0 points. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
