Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Blackstone
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 9.1/10. 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 Omaha eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Douglas County average of 4.8 and above the Nebraska statewide average of 3.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
HOLC surveyors mapped this tract in the 1930s with a dominant grade of B ("Still Desirable"), above the redlined D tier. The grading still shaped decades of lending and development in the surrounding area.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,016 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 11.5% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 16.3% of renter households in 2003.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
