Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Old Market
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 24%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 31%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.
At $907 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Omaha commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 7.8/10.
It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 1,047 filings here across 13 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2005, when 18.1% of renter households were served.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 11.0% of renter households face a filing.
That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
