Legends maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE and houses 5,261 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.3/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs roughly two in three against 28.9% citywide, putting Legends 36.5% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 22%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $1,306 a month, rents sit 20% over what the rest of Lincoln commands. The voucher gap is 16.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. That places it #26 of 72 neighborhoods in Lincoln.
For a like-for-like read, Hallmark and Park Valley Heights score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $74,706.
45% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.3/10 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.
