Summit Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 1,995 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Summit Park maps to a single census tract in Clarksburg, WV, population 1,995. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 61% against 31.3% citywide, putting Summit Park 30.1% over its own city.

38% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. SNAP participation is 26.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

15.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Average gross rent is $688, 13% below the Clarksburg average of $790.

Among the 5 mapped neighborhoods of Clarksburg, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, Business District and Edgewood score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $39,375.

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.
