Valley View spans 3 census tracts of Dubuque, IA, population 10,341. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 41% against 29.4% citywide, putting Valley View 11.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 27%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.
Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Filings are well documented here: 292 across 3 observed tracts.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filing activity peaked in 2015 at 7.9% of renter households.
That places it #4 of 10 neighborhoods in Dubuque. Judgments average 2.9% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Millwork District and Washington Neighborhood.
The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.5 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $900, close to the Dubuque average. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $52,447.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
