Barrington Lakes Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 5,917 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Barrington Lakes is a one-tract neighborhood of Dubuque, IA, population 5,917. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 48%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

60% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Dubuque rate of 29.4%. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.

Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. Court records for this tract carry 7 eviction filings. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.

Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 4.6% of renter households. 4.5% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.

That places it #10 of 10 neighborhoods in Dubuque. Judgments average 1.3% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.

Only 8% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Against average income of $139,000, annual rent is only 9%, a wide affordability cushion.

Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
