East Omaha Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,362 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

East Omaha is a one-tract suburb of Omaha, NE and houses 3,362 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

22% 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. 68% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. The poverty rate is 29%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Cost burden runs roughly one in three against 30.0% citywide, putting East Omaha 5.3% over its own city. On the high side is economic stress at 7.2/10.

Court records for this tract carry 165 eviction filings. At $1,369 a month, rents sit 15% over what the rest of Omaha commands.

The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 13.6% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.4% in 2014, is well off that peak.

Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Omaha, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. For a like-for-like read, NoDo and Beechwood score within a fraction of it.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $75,968.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
