Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Omaha
Cost burden runs roughly two in three here against 44.0% across Douglas County. SNAP participation runs 38.8% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 40.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. This is renter territory: 67% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
The poverty rate is 27%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
Average gross rent is $1,004, 15% below the Omaha average. The filing record is not thin: 740 evictions over 13 years of observation.
Filings peaked in 2012 at 13.9% of renter households. 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 11.1% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
