NoDo Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 10,382 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.1/10 · range 5.1–5.1

NoDo spans 3 census tracts of Omaha, NE, population 10,382. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.1/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 42%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Against a Omaha baseline of 30.0%, 65% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 42%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Set annual rent against average household income of $28,559 and the ratio lands at 45%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running hot is economic stress at 9/10.

This is a renter market: 77% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Food insecurity affects 35.6% of adults, 17.8 points above the national rate. 19.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Filings are well documented here: 2,492 across 3 observed tracts. Filing activity peaked in 2008 at 40.4% of renter households.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,060, 11% below the Omaha average of $1,187.

With little internal variation, 5.1/10 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.
