South Omaha Eviction Risk: Moderate

Annualized rent equals 39% of average household income of $45,342, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Average gross rent is $1,459, 23% above the Omaha average. SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally.

Housing insecurity runs 25.2% against 14.2% nationally. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

Cost burden runs 49% here against 44.0% across Douglas County. The voucher gap is 15.7%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

It sits 0.9 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Court records carry 456 eviction filings across 13 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 8.1% of renter households were served.

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.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
