Riverside maps to a single census tract in Parkersburg, WV and houses 2,769 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.4/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Parkersburg baseline of 29.2%, 40% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Severe burden reaches 15%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. SNAP participation is 23.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
That places it #9 of 9 neighborhoods in Parkersburg. The closest comparables inside the same city are Fairview Heights and Tavennersville. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Average gross rent runs $781, close to the Parkersburg average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $42,455. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
