What drives eviction risk in Benson
Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1.8/10. 11% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
The filing record is not thin: 270 evictions over 13 years of observation. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. At $1,058 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Omaha commands.
Filings peaked in 2005 at 5.6% of renter households. 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 4.4% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 33rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $71,328, 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.
