Tanglewood Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,189 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Tanglewood maps to a single census tract in Morgantown, WV, population 3,189. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.3/10.

This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. 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 Tanglewood 7.7% over its own city.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Morgantown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

For a like-for-like read, Jerome Park and Woodburn score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $950, close to the Morgantown average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $43,261.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
