· range 3–5.4
Greenmont takes in 2 census tracts of Morgantown, WV and houses 8,344 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.1/10, Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.4, a 2.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 48% against 40.7% citywide, putting Greenmont 7.3% over its own city. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Morgantown, it ranks #11 by risk, the lower third.
The closest comparables inside the same city are First Ward and Pineridge North. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $907, close to the Morgantown average.
42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
