Airspace is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE and houses 2,843 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5/10, in the Moderate tier. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. At $720 a month, rents sit 34% under what the rest of Lincoln commands. The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.4/10. 36% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Lincoln rate of 28.9%.
The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Sitting well above the midpoint is economic stress at 7.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 1,250 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 7.7% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.9% in 2016 against a 7.7% peak.
Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $34,078.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
