Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sissonville
Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 1.8/10.

Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. At 6% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 3/10.
Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $57,716, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Kanawha County average of 3.9 closely.
