Capitol maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE and houses 2,467 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Against a Lincoln baseline of 28.9%, roughly one in two of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
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 main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Average gross rent is $729, 33% below the Lincoln average of $1,086. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
The filing record is not thin: 1,459 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2013, when filings touched 9.9% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 4.2% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
One tract means one number: 5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
