NoDo maps to a single census tract in Council Bluffs, IA and houses 3,749 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 47% against 28.0% citywide, putting NoDo 18.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10.
The filing record is not thin: 190 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.5/10.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 6.8% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 5.1% in 2014 against a 6.8% peak. At $950 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Council Bluffs commands.
The closest comparables inside the same city are East Omaha and The Old Market. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.8/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $52,500.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
