Black Hawk Eviction Risk: Moderate

3 census tracts · pop 7,237 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.1/10 · range 3.4–4.7

Black Hawk takes in 3 census tracts of Davenport, IA and houses 7,237 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 4.1/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 38% against 29.9% citywide, putting Black Hawk 8.3% over its own city.

Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3.4 to 4.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 283 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts.

Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10. The worst year on record was 2015, when filings touched 9.2% of renter households. Among the 12 mapped neighborhoods of Davenport, it ranks #7 by risk, the middle third.

Judgments average 3.7% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order. The closest comparables inside the same city are Marycrest College Historic District and College Square Historic District.

Average gross rent runs $966, close to the Davenport average. Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $57,655.

32% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.3 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
