Stone Church Eviction Risk: Lower , Wheeling

63% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Ohio County average of 46.2%. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. At $721 a month, rents run 9% under what the rest of Wheeling commands.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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. Nationally it ranks #59,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

At 21% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 14% of average household income of $59,703, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Ohio County average of 3.6 closely.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
