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

On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Housing insecurity runs 24.9% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 276 filings here across 13 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,042, 12% below the Omaha average. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2007, when 9.3% 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 6.5% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 61st percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

Social vulnerability reads 9.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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.
