Suncrest maps to a single census tract in Star City, WV and houses 4,024 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Star City rate of 24.3%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.6/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.8/10.
12% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $1,002, close to the Star City average.
47% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 3.1/10 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.
