Jersey Heights maps to a single census tract in Davenport, IA, population 6,183. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10. Against a Davenport baseline of 29.9%, about a quarter of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 11%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The filing record is not thin: 140 evictions logged in this tract.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. SNAP participation is 6.6% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 6.6% of renter households. 5.3% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #10 of 12 neighborhoods in Davenport.
Against average income of $98,500, annual rent is only 11%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
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.
