Bellview Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,511 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.3/10 · range 3.3–3.3

Bellview maps to a single census tract in Fairmont, WV and houses 3,511 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.3/10, in the Lower tier. 37% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Fairmont rate of 27.2%.

The clearest offset is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. Average gross rent is $657, 28% below the Fairmont average of $916. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.9/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Only 22% 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 $76,587, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion.

One tract means one number: 3.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
