Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Omaha

Against Douglas County at 44.0%, 66% of renters here are cost-burdened. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.9/10. SNAP participation runs 38.9% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 40%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 22.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 960 filings here across 13 tracked years. Average gross rent is $1,078, 9% below the Omaha average. The worst year on record was 2002, when 23.2% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

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.
