Court records carry 667 eviction filings across 13 observed years. 40% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, lower than the Douglas County average of 44.0%. Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.8 points.
SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. Filings peaked in 2005 at 5.2% of renter households. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Omaha. 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 3.9% of renter households face a filing.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
