Discovery Village Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,161 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Discovery Village is a one-tract neighborhood of Reno, NV, population 3,161. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $2,136 a month, rents sit 37% over what the rest of Reno commands.

The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Cost burden runs 41% against 31.3% citywide, putting Discovery Village 10.0% over its own city.

Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The voucher gap is 24.0%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

The filing record is not thin: 28 evictions logged in this tract. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10. SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.0% of adults, 9.8 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 40.5% of renter households.

That places it #16 of 26 neighborhoods in Reno. Judgments average 5.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
