Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Omaha
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. 31% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Pottawattamie County average of 38.2%. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions over 4 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2013, when 5.2% of renter households were served. Average gross rent is $1,122, 9% above the Council Bluffs average.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 3.2% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 11% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
Social vulnerability reads 4.9/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured.
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.
