Analysis

What drives eviction risk in East Hills Fork Rural

Cost burden runs 36% here against 43.7% across Clark County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 40 filings here across 8 tracked years.

At 12% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. The legal-climate inputs (statute speed, court posture, rent-regulation exposure) come from La Center as a whole. Only the economic and supply signals are measured inside this tract. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.9/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $124,044, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
