South End District maps to a single census tract in Dubuque, IA and houses 3,976 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.2/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 44% against 29.4% citywide, putting South End District 14.6% over its own city.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The severe-burden share is 21%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.0% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 1.7% of renter households. 4.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Dubuque, it ranks #9 by risk, the lower third. Judgments average 0.5% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. At 11% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Barrington Lakes and College Grandview District.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.2/10 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.
