Ambrose Eviction Risk: Lower

4 census tracts · pop 12,812 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.2–5.2

Ambrose is a 4-tract neighborhood of Reno, NV and houses 12,812 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. 49% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Reno rate of 31.3%.

The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Scores across the 4 constituent tracts range from 3.2 to 5.2. A 2-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.

Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.1/10. Filings are well documented here: 177 across 2 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,747, 12% above the Reno average of $1,556. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 31.4% of renter households.

Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Reno, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. Judgments average 1.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Donner Springs and Panther Valley. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $88,580.

52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
