Nelson Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 4,639 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Nelson is a one-tract neighborhood of Raymond, NE and houses 4,639 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 1/10. Running cool is economic stress, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 13%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Average gross rent is $898, 17% above the Raymond average of $770. The filing record is not thin: 67 evictions logged in this tract. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 7.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

27% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, a little below the Raymond rate of 31.0%. Food insecurity affects 8.4% of adults, 9.4 points below the national rate.

Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 3.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. Only 13% 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.

Against average income of $112,788, annual rent is only 10%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
