North Park takes in 2 census tracts of Wheeling, WV, population 2,826. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.5 to 4.6, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
SNAP participation is 24.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #6 of 12 neighborhoods in Wheeling. For a like-for-like read, Morningside and North Island score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Average gross rent runs $810, close to the Wheeling average.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
