Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Omaha
The poverty rate is 36%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Disability prevalence runs 44.9% against 31.5% nationally. The severe-burden share is 16%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Court records carry 1,883 eviction filings across 13 observed years.
Average gross rent is $1,031, 13% below the Omaha average. The worst year on record was 2002, when 36.0% of renter households were served.
This ground was mapped D ("Hazardous") 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 19.1% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
