Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South Omaha
The score leans hardest on tenant organizing strength at 3.5/10. That part comes from the wider legal climate rather than the tract itself. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Omaha eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores below the Douglas County average of 4.8 and in line with the Nebraska statewide average of 3.9. Within its own county it reads on the safer side for landlords.
In CDC survey modeling, about 21.7% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 12.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 515 eviction filings here over 13 tracked years, with about 5.8% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.1% of renter households in 2002.
For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
