Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Omaha
Cost burden runs around two-thirds here against 44.0% across Douglas County. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.
Adults with no health insurance runs 28.1% against 11.3% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.
SNAP participation runs 23.8% against 15.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 236 evictions over 13 years of observation. Filings peaked in 2011 at 9.2% of renter households.
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 6.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 47% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 22% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Social vulnerability reads 8.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
