Tower District spans 2 census tracts of Papillion, NE and houses 10,830 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.3/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 43% against 26.8% citywide, putting Tower District 16.1% over its own city.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.9/10.
On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Filings are well documented here: 438 across 2 observed tracts. SNAP participation is 6.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2013 at 5.2% of renter households. Food insecurity affects 9.6% of adults, 8.2 points below the national rate.
The most recent observed rate, 1.8% in 2016, is well off that peak. At $1,180 a month, rents sit 7% under what the rest of Papillion commands.
Against average income of $87,514, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. Its 2 tracts score within 0.7 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses. 46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
With little internal variation, 4.3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
