At $897 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Omaha commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2.1/10. Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,316 filings here across 13 tracked years.

SNAP participation runs 23.5% against 15.2% nationally. 48% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, higher than the Douglas County average of 44.0%.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2011, when 14.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Omaha. 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 11.8% of renter households face a filing.

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.
