Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: C: Definitely Declining

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade C meant mixed-race / working-class neighborhoods rated as risky. 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

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Adults with no health insurance runs 25.6% against 11.3% nationally. Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Douglas County average of 3.9, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Food insecurity runs 28.1% against 17.8% nationally.

Sitting well above the midpoint, court filing pressure reads 7.5/10. The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 420 filings here across 13 tracked years.

The worst year on record was 2013, when 10.1% of renter households were served. At $1,089 a month, rents run 8% under what the rest of Omaha commands. 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.

In a typical year about 7.7% of renter households face a filing.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
