John S. Park is a 9-tract neighborhood of Las Vegas, NV and houses 30,545 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 6/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. Cost burden runs 57% against 34.7% citywide, putting John S. Park 22.0% over its own city.
Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.9 to 7.8, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. The severe-burden share is 33%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 1.8/10.
68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Average gross rent is $1,163, 26% below the Las Vegas average of $1,563.
The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 23.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 28.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Among the 37 mapped neighborhoods of Las Vegas, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, East Las Vegas and Inner Northwest score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $47,970.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 3.9 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.
