Highland Hills maps to a single census tract in Bettendorf, IA and houses 8,395 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $1,795 a month, rents sit 51% over what the rest of Bettendorf commands.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 10/10. The voucher gap is 75.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The severe-burden share is 30%. 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 economic stress, at 1/10. 33% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Bettendorf rate of 26.9%.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Court records for this tract carry 20 eviction filings.
Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. 3.8% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Filing activity peaked in 2014 at 4.2% of renter households. Recent filings have not receded much: 4.2% in 2015 against a 4.2% peak.
Among the 10 mapped neighborhoods of Bettendorf, it ranks #5 by risk, the middle third.
One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
