1 census tracts · pop 1,953 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Davis Creek maps to a single census tract in South Charleston, WV, population 1,953. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
Cost burden runs 22% against 30.7% citywide, putting Davis Creek 8.4% under its own city. At $1,042 a month, rents sit 23% over what the rest of South Charleston commands. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Severe burden reaches 12%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. 5.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Against average income of $79,643, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
