Elkhorn is a 3-tract suburb of Omaha, NE, population 11,961. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.2/10. Against a Omaha baseline of 30.0%, 24% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. SNAP participation is 3.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 152 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 13.1% of renter households.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 2.2% in 2014, is well off that peak.
Among the 17 mapped neighborhoods of Omaha, it ranks #16 by risk, the lower third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Skyline and Chalco.
Against average income of $118,096, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
