Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Clarksburg
The score leans hardest on supply constraint at 5.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Clarksburg eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Harrison County average of 4.0 and below the West Virginia statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 16.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 15.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 43rd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.
For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
