East Omaha Eviction Risk: Lower , Council Bluffs

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 34 filings here across 4 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 3.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Council Bluffs. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.8% of renter households face a filing.

That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $71,572, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Pottawattamie County average of 4.0 closely.

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.
