Donner Springs takes in 4 census tracts of Reno, NV, population 14,593. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.9/10.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. 31% of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent.
The 4 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3.2 to 4.5, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. Court records carry 290 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.
Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 25.3% of renter households. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Reno, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.8% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. For a like-for-like read, Ambrose and Panther Valley score within a fraction of it.
Average gross rent runs $1,465, close to the Reno average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $84,456.
42% 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.
