Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 18%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
Average gross rent is $857, 21% below the Lincoln average of $1,086. The filing record is not thin: 131 evictions logged in this tract.
On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.6/10. SNAP participation is 6.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Filing activity peaked in 2016 at 4.3% of renter households. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third.
Judgments average 2.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. Only 25% 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. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rolling Hills Ridge and Colonial Hills.
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.
