Lees Ridge is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE and houses 5,017 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 42% against 28.9% citywide, putting Lees Ridge 12.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.2/10. At $1,276 a month, rents sit 17% over what the rest of Lincoln commands.
The filing record is not thin: 99 evictions logged in this tract. The severe-burden share is 11%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The voucher gap is 13.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 3.4% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10.
The most recent observed rate, 1.9% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
