Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Omaha

64% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Douglas County average of 44.0%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.

The poverty rate is 44%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Annualized rent equals 44% of average household income of $27,981, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Disability prevalence runs 47.7% against 31.5% nationally.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 23.5% against 11.3% nationally. Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points.

The filing record is not thin: 703 evictions over 13 years of observation. At $1,024 a month, rents run 14% under what the rest of Omaha commands.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
