Telegraph District Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lincoln

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

The severe-burden share is 32%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. This is renter territory: 89% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $28,285, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Average gross rent is $768, 29% below the Lincoln average.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Against the Lancaster County average of 3.8, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Food insecurity runs 28.2% against 17.8% nationally.

The filing record is not thin: 541 evictions over 14 years of observation. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
