Cosgroves is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE, population 5,199. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.4/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 49% against 28.9% citywide, putting Cosgroves 20.0% over its own city.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 24%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
The filing record is not thin: 732 evictions logged in this tract. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. The worst year on record was 2002, when filings touched 12.4% of renter households.
Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 5.9% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #24 by risk, the upper third.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,067, close to the Lincoln average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $55,521. 53% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.4/10 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.
