Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Victorian Square

The heaviest input here is economic stress at 6.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Washoe County average of 4.9 and in line with the Nevada statewide average of 5.6. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 24.1% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 14.2% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 80 eviction filings here over 1 tracked years, with about 10.6% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.6% of renter households in 2001.
