Crestview Park Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,080 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Crestview Park maps to a single census tract in Parkersburg, WV and houses 4,080 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Against a Parkersburg baseline of 29.2%, 39% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. 14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Average gross rent is $718, 9% below the Parkersburg average of $785.

Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Parkersburg, it ranks #6 by risk, the lower third. For a like-for-like read, Woodland Park and Tavennersville score within a fraction of it. Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 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.
