Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Historic Washington Street

29% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well below the Scott County average of 41.8%. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Severe burden reaches 15%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10.

The filing record is not thin: 37 evictions over 6 years of observation. The worst year on record was 2004, when 3.7% of renter households were served.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Davenport. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 2.0% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 42% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Social vulnerability reads 2.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.

It tracks the Scott County average of 3.7 closely. Average gross rent is $1,024, close to the Davenport average.

Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $54,476.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
