Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Omaha

This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Council Bluffs. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing.
