Highland View Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 6,078 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Highland View is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE, population 6,078. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 28.9% citywide, putting Highland View 15.0% over its own city.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1.2/10. 14% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

Court records for this tract carry 121 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 5.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally.

Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 2.9% of renter households.

Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. At $1,208 a month, rents sit 11% over what the rest of Lincoln commands.

The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third.

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.
