Chalco Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 10,430 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.1/10 · range 3–3.2

Chalco takes in 2 census tracts of Omaha, NE and houses 10,430 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

On the softer side is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 33% of renter households. Filings are well documented here: 336 across 2 observed tracts.

Average gross rent is $1,375, 16% above the Omaha average of $1,187. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 18.6% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The most recent observed rate, 4.0% in 2014, is well off that peak. That places it #15 of 17 neighborhoods in Omaha.

Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $122,999, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

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.
