Pound Heights Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,724 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Pound Heights maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE, population 5,724. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.4/10. Cost burden runs 37% against 28.9% citywide, putting Pound Heights 8.5% over its own city.

The filing record is not thin: 236 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 5.9% of renter households.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.7% in 2016 against a 5.9% peak.

Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third. Rent takes 16% 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. Average gross rent runs $1,036, close to the Lincoln average. 33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
