The Mesa is a one-tract neighborhood of Spring Valley, NV, population 5,545. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs about half against 32.9% citywide, putting The Mesa 19.6% over its own city.
The voucher gap is 33.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
Average gross rent is $2,333, 34% above the Spring Valley average of $1,743. On the softer side is economic stress, at 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.3/10. Among the 9 mapped neighborhoods of Spring Valley, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $101,424.
28% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
