· range 3–4.1
Mclellan Heights takes in 3 census tracts of Davenport, IA, population 8,813. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Davenport baseline of 29.9%, 36% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.1, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address.
Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 410 eviction filings across its 3 observed tracts. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Filing activity peaked in 2005 at 13.5% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2015, is well off that peak. That places it #7 of 12 neighborhoods in Davenport.
Against average income of $80,972, annual rent is only 14%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $946, close to the Davenport average.
33% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.9 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
