Panther Valley Eviction Risk: Moderate

2 census tracts · pop 8,552 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3–4.9

Panther Valley takes in 2 census tracts of Reno, NV and houses 8,552 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.9. A 1.9-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.

At $1,837 a month, rents sit 18% over what the rest of Reno commands. Cost burden runs 36% against 31.3% citywide, putting Panther Valley 4.8% over its own city. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.9/10.

That places it #10 of 26 neighborhoods in Reno. For a like-for-like read, Martin and Donner Springs score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $93,615.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.9 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.
