Business District maps to a single census tract in Clarksburg, WV, population 2,872. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 54% against 31.3% citywide, putting Business District 22.9% over its own city.
The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
SNAP participation is 35.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Set annual rent against average household income of $26,006 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
16% 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. Food insecurity affects 28.7% of adults, 10.9 points above the national rate. That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in Clarksburg.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $743, close to the Clarksburg average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
