What drives eviction risk in Sunset Heights

Court records carry 1,066 eviction filings across 14 observed years. The worst year on record was 2012, when 6.6% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Lincoln. 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 5.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
