The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 37% of renter households. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Huntington, it ranks #10 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Reid and Gaylersville.
Against average income of $56,786, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $922, close to the Huntington average. 30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
