Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Happy Hollow
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 20%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. SNAP participation runs 5.3% against 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity runs 8.3% against 17.8% nationally. At $1,382 a month, rents run 16% over what the rest of Omaha commands.
It sits 0.9 points below the Douglas County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 50 evictions over 13 years of observation.
The worst year on record was 2008, when 3.3% of renter households were served. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground A ("Best"). 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 2.2% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 25% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
