Davis Creek Eviction Risk: Lower , South Charleston

The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,042, 23% above the South Charleston average.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. The severe-burden share is 12%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Against the Kanawha County average of 3.9, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.9 points. Food insecurity runs 10.1% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $79,643, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
