Beechwood Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 17,636 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5/10 · range 4.8–5.1

Beechwood spans 5 census tracts of Omaha, NE and houses 17,636 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, Moderate tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Omaha rate of 30.0%.

The severe-burden share is 32%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

17.4% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 22.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot is economic stress at 7.3/10. Court records carry 3,323 eviction filings across its 5 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 22.5% of renter households. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

At $1,110 a month, rents sit 6% under what the rest of Omaha commands. Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Omaha, it ranks #5 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 6.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

For a like-for-like read, Blackstone and The Old Market score within a fraction of it.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
