Wandering Creek Eviction Risk: Lower
1 census tracts · pop 3,677 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3
Wandering Creek is a one-tract neighborhood of Lincoln, NE, population 3,677. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,555 a month, rents sit 43% over what the rest of Lincoln commands.
The voucher gap is 38.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. 40% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Lincoln rate of 28.9%.
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. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.8/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 4.5% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. SNAP participation is 3.7% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 8 evictions logged in this tract.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 4.9% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.6% in 2016 against a 4.9% peak.
Among the 72 mapped neighborhoods of Lincoln, it ranks #43 by risk, the middle third. At 16% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Colonial Hills and Rolling Hills Ridge score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
