Stewart maps to a single census tract in Parkersburg, WV, population 3,405. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.6/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 46%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Cost burden runs 70% against 29.2% citywide, putting Stewart 40.5% over its own city. SNAP participation is 51.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
24.9% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 28%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Average gross rent is $835, 6% above the Parkersburg average of $785. That places it #1 of 9 neighborhoods in Parkersburg.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Beechwood and Julia-Ann Square Historic District. 36% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
