Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Susan

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Running cool, state political climate reads 1.8/10.

Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 2/10. Cost burden runs 51% here against 43.9% across Lancaster County. Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 420 filings here across 14 tracked years.

Average gross rent is $1,186, 9% above the Lincoln average. Filings peaked in 2007 at 7.3% of renter households. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining").

In a typical year about 4.8% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #52,479 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7/10.
