Frontera Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,670 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.6/10 · range 4.6–4.6

Frontera maps to a single census tract in Sparks, NV and houses 3,670 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, in the Moderate tier. about half of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Sparks rate of 30.3%.

Severe burden reaches 33%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 76% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The voucher gap is 26.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,184, 27% above the Sparks average of $1,716.

On the high side is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.

The poverty rate is 17%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Sparks, it ranks #2 by risk, the upper third.

Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $91,801.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
