Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Buffalo Ranch
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 8.9/10.
The voucher gap is 25.5%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. At $2,196 a month, rents run 26% over what the rest of Spring Valley commands.
Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Nationally it ranks #39,308 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
Social vulnerability reads 6.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. It tracks the Clark County average of 4.7 closely. Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $111,189.
32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
