· range 3.4–5.4
Michael Way takes in 6 census tracts of Las Vegas, NV and houses 26,263 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.8/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 59% against 34.7% citywide, putting Michael Way 24.6% over its own city.
38% 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. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.4 to 5.4, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 26.2% of adults, 8.4 points above the national rate. That places it #11 of 37 neighborhoods in Las Vegas. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eastland Heights and Charleston Heights.
Social vulnerability runs high at 9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,492, close to the Las Vegas average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $58,695. 54% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
