Omaha Eviction Risk: Moderate

Cost burden runs 80% here against 44.0% across Douglas County. Food insecurity runs 44.8% against 17.8% nationally.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 9/10. The poverty rate is 36%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Set annual rent against average income of $33,510 and the ratio lands at 37%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 24.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Court records carry 643 eviction filings across 13 observed years.

Average gross rent is $1,033, 13% below the Omaha average.

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.
