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

Adults with no health insurance runs 35.5% against 11.3% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10.

Food insecurity runs 37.3% against 17.8% nationally. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

It sits 1.2 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the high side, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 245 evictions over 13 years of observation.

At $1,038 a month, rents run 13% under what the rest of Omaha commands. The worst year on record was 2005, when 6.7% 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 4.8% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 9.1/10 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.
