Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Blackstone

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

At $879 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Omaha commands. Well under the midpoint, supply constraint reads 2/10. The filing record is not thin: 944 evictions over 13 years of observation.

It sits 0.8 points above the Douglas County average of 3.9. Filings peaked in 2011 at 10.4% of renter households. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") 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 7.3% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 7.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $60,048, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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