Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: B: Still Desirable

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade B meant middle-class areas with mortgage access. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in South Omaha

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Cost burden runs roughly one in two here against 44.0% across Douglas County. Housing insecurity runs 26.8% against 14.2% nationally. The poverty rate is 24%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 131 evictions over 13 years of observation. At $1,352 a month, rents run 14% over what the rest of Omaha commands. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

The worst year on record was 2007, when 8.0% 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 4.7% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #31,049 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
