East Omaha takes in 3 census tracts of Council Bluffs, IA and houses 9,922 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Against a Council Bluffs baseline of 28.0%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Court records carry 247 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 15.7% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 6.2% in 2014, is well off that peak.
At $1,103 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Council Bluffs commands. At 18% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, The Old Market and NoDo score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $71,504, annual rent is only 19%, a wide affordability cushion. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.3 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
