Chinatown is a 10-tract suburb of Paradise, NV and houses 37,937 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 7/10, placing it in the Elevated tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Paradise rate of 36.3%.
The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 80% 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.
Scores across the 10 constituent tracts range from 5.4 to 7.8. A 2.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Annualized rent equals 32% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.2/10. The poverty rate is 29%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 25.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 22.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.3/10. Average gross rent is $1,222, 11% below the Paradise average of $1,372.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.4 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.
