Horizon Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Sparks, NV and houses 5,231 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. Cost burden runs 24% against 30.3% citywide, putting Horizon Place 6.0% under its own city. Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
10% 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 voucher gap is 13.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. At $1,953 a month, rents sit 14% over what the rest of Sparks commands.
SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 9.4% of adults, 8.4 points below the national rate. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Sparks, it ranks #4 by risk, the middle third.
At 17% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
