Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Hastings

What moves this score most is economic stress at 7.7/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Hastings eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Adams County average of 3.4 and in line with the Nebraska statewide average of 3.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 16.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 41 eviction filings here over 9 tracked years, with about 0.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 1.2% of renter households in 2012.

For a landlord, this is among the easier places to operate: faster process, lighter tenant-protection overhead, and shorter typical cases.
