Southern Highlands is a 6-tract suburb of Enterprise, NV and houses 26,828 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.8/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 31.4% citywide, putting Southern Highlands 10.2% over its own city.
The voucher gap is 28.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The 6 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 5, a 1.8-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The strongest single driver of the headline number is supply constraint at 7.9/10.
17% 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 high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.7/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. At $2,252 a month, rents sit 16% over what the rest of Enterprise commands.
Among the 4 mapped neighborhoods of Enterprise, it ranks #3 by risk, the lower third. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $103,956.
29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.8 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
