Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Happy Hollow

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 1/10.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Severe burden reaches 17%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Housing insecurity runs 5.7% against 14.2% nationally. It sits 0.9 points below the Douglas County average of 3.9. The filing record is not thin: 18 evictions over 10 years of observation.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.6% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. The worst year on record was 2010, when 6.1% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped A ("Best") 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 8.2% of renter households face a filing.
