South Wheeling Historic District Eviction Risk: Moderate

SNAP participation runs 38.0% against 15.2% nationally. 28% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1/10. The poverty rate is 35%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Average gross rent is $543, 32% below the Wheeling average. Disability prevalence runs 48.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Running hot, economic stress reads 8.7/10. It sits 1.0 points above the Ohio County average of 3.6.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 53rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $27,346.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
