Woodland Park maps to a single census tract in Parkersburg, WV, population 3,271. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 30% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 22%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $909 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Parkersburg commands.
That places it #5 of 9 neighborhoods in Parkersburg. The closest comparables inside the same city are Crestview Park and Tavennersville. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4/10 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.
