Victorian Square is a 8-tract neighborhood of Sparks, NV and houses 32,547 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 30.3% citywide, putting Victorian Square 12.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,248 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Sparks commands.
17% 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. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.2/10. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 5.5, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk.
21.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. Court records carry 683 eviction filings across its 4 observed tracts.
Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.6/10. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Filing activity peaked in 2001 at 33.3% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 26.5% of adults, 8.7 points above the national rate. Among the 7 mapped neighborhoods of Sparks, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Judgments average 3.1% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 4.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
