Analysis
What drives eviction risk in WJ Marshalls
The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.4/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Lancaster County average of 4.4 and above the Nebraska statewide average of 3.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 550 eviction filings here over 14 tracked years, with about 4.7% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 8.3% of renter households in 2006.
In CDC survey modeling, about 12.5% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 8.8% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
