2 census tracts · pop 6,526 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.4/10 · range 4.3–4.6

17.6% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 44.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Parkersburg, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
