Inner Northwest Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,258 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 5.3–5.3

Inner Northwest is a one-tract suburb of Las Vegas, NV and houses 4,258 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Las Vegas baseline of 34.7%, 53% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

32% 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. This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 16.2% 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.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. 20.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. At $1,699 a month, rents sit 9% over what the rest of Las Vegas commands.

Among the 37 mapped neighborhoods of Las Vegas, it ranks #3 by risk, the upper third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Pioneer Park and Bonanza Village. Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.

One tract means one number: 5.3/10 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.
