Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Sparks

Severe burden reaches 21%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.

The voucher gap is 17.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $2,031, 18% above the Sparks average. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.

Cost burden runs 39% here against 44.0% across Washoe County. Court records carry 21 eviction filings across 1 observed years.

The worst year on record was 2001, when 3.8% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 3.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
