Water Street District Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 9,236 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–5.1

Water Street District is a 2-tract suburb of Henderson, NV, population 9,236. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Henderson rate of 33.4%.

Severe burden reaches 24%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 5.1, a 2.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.

On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.6/10.

At $1,660 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Henderson commands. That places it #4 of 20 neighborhoods in Henderson.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Whitney Ranch and Sierra Vista Addition. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $81,014. 35% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
