Cotner College Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 3,314 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cotner College is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE, population 3,314. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. Average gross rent is $880, 19% below the Lincoln average of $1,086. The filing record is not thin: 224 evictions logged in this tract.

Against a Lincoln baseline of 28.9%, 33% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.

The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 11.2% of renter households. SNAP participation is 7.1% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The most recent observed rate, 4.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third. Only 14% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

Against average income of $80,675, annual rent is only 13%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
