Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Omaha

The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 20% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Against Douglas County at 44.0%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened.

The filing record is not thin: 595 evictions over 13 years of observation. Adults with no health insurance runs 18.8% against 11.3% nationally. At $1,072 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Omaha commands.

The worst year on record was 2010, when 10.5% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 7.2% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

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.
