Broadway Historic District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Rock Island

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.5/10. 72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $24,261, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. The poverty rate is 30%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Severe burden reaches 16%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 30.8% against 17.8% nationally. Against the Rock Island County average of 4.6, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.6/10.

At $668 a month, rents run 21% under what the rest of Rock Island commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 7.6/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #18,163 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
