Park Valley Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,995 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Park Valley Heights maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE and houses 3,995 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

74% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Against a Lincoln baseline of 28.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The severe-burden share is 14%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Court records for this tract carry 239 eviction filings.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 2.5% of renter households.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.4% in 2016, is well off that peak.

Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #28 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Norwood Park and Simon's score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,078, close to the Lincoln average.

One tract means one number: 4.2/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
