Lauckport maps to a single census tract in Parkersburg, WV, population 1,553. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.3/10, Moderate tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Parkersburg rate of 29.2%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 27% 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.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. Running cool is supply constraint, at 1.9/10.
The poverty rate is 22%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $640 a month, rents sit 18% under what the rest of Parkersburg commands. Disability prevalence reaches 45.8% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute.
SNAP participation is 25.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. That places it #4 of 9 neighborhoods in Parkersburg.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Julia-Ann Square Historic District and Woodland Park score within a fraction of it.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
