Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mannington

The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 26.0% against 17.8% nationally.

It sits 0.8 points above the Marion County average of 3.7. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #41,206 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $64,228, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Average gross rent is $805, close to the Mannington average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
