The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

At $1,000 a month, rents sit 26% over what the rest of Wheeling commands. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Wheeling, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.

Against average income of $66,042, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
