Simon's Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,573 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.2/10 · range 4.2–4.2

Simon's is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE and houses 4,573 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Severe burden reaches 43%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Cost burden runs 58% against 28.9% citywide, putting Simon's 29.1% over its own city. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

The filing record is not thin: 222 evictions logged in this tract. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 4.3% of renter households.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #28 by risk, the middle third.

Only 26% 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. For a like-for-like read, Park Valley Heights and Norwood Park score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,057, close to the Lincoln average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $61,866.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
