Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Happy Hollow

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Food insecurity runs 7.8% against 17.8% nationally.

This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 3.4% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 46% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.3/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Douglas County average of 3.9 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
