Cushman Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,178 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Cushman maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE, population 4,178. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1.3/10. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Lincoln rate of 28.9%.

The filing record is not thin: 175 evictions logged in this tract. SNAP participation is 6.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Filing activity peaked in 2010 at 7.0% of renter households. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.

Food insecurity affects 9.0% of adults, 8.8 points below the national rate. The most recent observed rate, 2.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third.

At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rolling Hills Ridge and Colonial Hills. Rent takes 13% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.

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.
