Somersett Eviction Risk: Lower

3 census tracts · pop 12,189 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Somersett is a 3-tract suburb of Reno, NV and houses 12,189 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $2,624, 69% above the Reno average of $1,556.

The voucher gap is 52.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.2/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.7/10. 18% 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.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. Against a Reno baseline of 31.3%, 26% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The filing record is not thin: 1 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.3% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2001, when filings touched 0.3% of renter households.

That places it #16 of 26 neighborhoods in Reno. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
