Hill 'n Dale Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 4,561 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3–4.6

Hill 'n Dale is a 2-tract neighborhood of Clarksburg, WV and houses 4,561 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Clarksburg rate of 31.3%.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Severe burden reaches 21%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.6, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

That places it #5 of 5 neighborhoods in Clarksburg. The closest comparables inside the same city are Monticello and Business District. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $803, close to the Clarksburg average. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.6 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
