Debolt Eviction Risk: Moderate

5 census tracts · pop 13,959 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 3–5.1

Debolt spans 5 census tracts of Omaha, NE and houses 13,959 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, Moderate tier. 40% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Cost burden runs 60% against 30.0% citywide, putting Debolt 29.7% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Scores across the 5 constituent tracts range from 3 to 5.1. A 2.1-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Filings are well documented here: 1,067 across 4 observed tracts. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

The worst year on record was 2009, when filings touched 26.3% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 7.3% in 2014, is well off that peak.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Omaha, it ranks #11 by risk, the middle third. Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

Average gross rent runs $1,156, close to the Omaha average.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
