Monticello Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,837 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.5/10 · range 3.5–3.5

Monticello maps to a single census tract in Clarksburg, WV, population 2,837. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.5/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

about one in five of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well below the Clarksburg rate of 31.3%. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Clarksburg, it ranks #5 by risk, the lower third.

At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Hill 'n Dale and Business District. Against average income of $60,893, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent runs $797, close to the Clarksburg average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
