Wiles Hill maps to a single census tract in Morgantown, WV and houses 4,434 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 50%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Morgantown rate of 40.7%. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 54%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
78% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. At $814 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Morgantown commands. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Morgantown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $31,133.
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.
