Capitol Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lincoln

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. At $729 a month, rents run 33% under what the rest of Lincoln commands.

22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Against the Lancaster County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. The poverty rate is 21%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against Lancaster County at 43.9%, 49% of renters here are cost-burdened. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,459 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Filings peaked in 2013 at 9.9% of renter households. This ground was mapped A ("Best") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lincoln. 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 7.5% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the NE average is 3.7, so this tract runs 1.3 points hotter.

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.
