Stead is a 2-tract suburb of Reno, NV and houses 6,045 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.7/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 51% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Reno rate of 31.3%.
34% 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. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10.
Filings are well documented here: 92 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 23.5% of renter households. 18.2% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
At $1,728 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Reno commands. That places it #7 of 26 neighborhoods in Reno. Judgments average 2.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Grand View Terrace and Powning Addition. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.6 points apart at the extremes. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $85,395.
49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
