Grandale Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,882 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Grandale maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE, population 2,882. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. 23% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, under the Lincoln rate of 28.9%. Average gross rent is $1,279, 18% above the Lincoln average of $1,086.

Disability prevalence reaches 19.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. The voucher gap is 13.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Food insecurity affects 7.2% of adults, 10.6 points below the national rate.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third. The closest comparables inside the same city are Rolling Hills Ridge and Colonial Hills.

Against average income of $101,625, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

30% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
