West Reno takes in 3 census tracts of Reno, NV and houses 10,718 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 57% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Reno rate of 31.3%.
The severe-burden share is 34%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Set annual rent against average household income of $62,944 and the ratio lands at 33%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.5, a 1.3-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Filings are well documented here: 31 across 2 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 5.5% of renter households. Average gross rent is $1,707, 10% above the Reno average of $1,556.
Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Reno, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 1.4% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.1 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
