Homestead Park is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE, population 5,693. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. Against a Lincoln baseline of 28.9%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
29% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The filing record is not thin: 711 evictions logged in this tract.
The poverty rate is 16%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The worst year on record was 2014, when filings touched 11.8% of renter households. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Food insecurity affects 26.0% of adults, 8.2 points above the national rate. 17.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. The most recent observed rate, 5.7% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #20 of 72 neighborhoods in Lincoln. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.6/10 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.
