Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Blackstone

The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 23%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Cost burden runs 55% here against 44.0% across Douglas County.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

The filing record is not thin: 1,016 evictions over 13 years of observation. At $1,052 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Omaha commands.

The worst year on record was 2003, when 16.3% 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 11.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.3/10.

Statewide the NE average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.4 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
