Northern Hills maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE, population 1,883. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 28.9% citywide, putting Northern Hills 21.4% over its own city.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 25%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
At $1,402 a month, rents sit 29% over what the rest of Lincoln commands. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 24.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 6.8% of adults, 11.0 points below the national rate. That places it #43 of 72 neighborhoods in Lincoln.
Only 27% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
