Stone Church is a one-tract neighborhood of Wheeling, WV, population 5,198. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.4/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 48%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Cost burden runs 63% against 33.0% citywide, putting Stone Church 30.4% over its own city. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. At $721 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Wheeling commands.
That places it #8 of 12 neighborhoods in Wheeling. At 21% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are North Island and Oakmont Hills.
Against average income of $59,703, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
