Harmar Historic District Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,113 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Harmar Historic District is a one-tract neighborhood of Williamstown, WV and houses 3,113 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Against a Williamstown baseline of 31.0%, 66% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.5/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure at 7.5/10. Only 14% 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. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $848, close to the Williamstown average.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
