Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.7/10. The filing record is not thin: 145 evictions logged in this tract. Severe burden reaches 10%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

The most recent observed rate, 0.8% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #3 of 10 neighborhoods in Bettendorf. Against average income of $81,507, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
46% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.5/10 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.
