Sunset Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate
1 census tracts · pop 5,678 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4/10 · range 4–4
Sunset Heights maps to a single census tract in Lincoln, NE, population 5,678. The Eviction Risk Score is 4/10, in the Moderate tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
At $792 a month, rents sit 27% under what the rest of Lincoln commands. The severe-burden share is 20%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 2/10. around a third of renters spend 30% or more of household income on rent. The filing record is not thin: 1,066 evictions logged in this tract.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 6.6% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 5.8% in 2016 against a 6.6% peak. Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #31 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Lincoln Park and Dakota Place score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 8.1/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 4/10 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.
