Millwork District is a one-tract neighborhood of Dubuque, IA and houses 2,415 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Dubuque rate of 29.4%.
Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. This is a renter market: 88% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.
The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 7.9/10. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
The filing record is not thin: 230 evictions logged in this tract. On the high side is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. At $827 a month, rents sit 13% under what the rest of Dubuque commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 9.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 4.3% in 2015, is well off that peak.
That places it #1 of 10 neighborhoods in Dubuque.
One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
