Meadowlark is a one-tract neighborhood of Lumberport, WV and houses 2,352 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for roughly one in four of renter households. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.7/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.
Only 18% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $63,085, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 7%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Lumberport average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
