Vegas Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
4 census tracts · pop 12,893 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.3/10 · range 4.9–5.4
Vegas Heights is a 4-tract neighborhood of North Las Vegas, NV, population 12,893. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.3/10, in the Moderate tier. 39% 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.
Against a North Las Vegas baseline of 33.8%, 61% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. SNAP participation is 42.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 27.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $1,214, 29% below the North Las Vegas average of $1,705. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.1/10.
That places it #1 of 5 neighborhoods in North Las Vegas. For a like-for-like read, Craig Ranch and Aliante score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Its 4 tracts score within 0.5 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 5.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
