Analysis
What drives eviction risk in East Moline
The dominant input is tenant-organizing strength at 7.4/10. Against Rock Island County at 40.3%, 34% of renters here are cost-burdened. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the high side, housing-court posture reads 6.9/10. At $947 a month, rents run 9% over what the rest of East Moline commands. That is riskier than roughly 55% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Only 20% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 6/10.
Against average income of $75,994, annual rent is just 15%. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.
It tracks the Rock Island County average of 4.6 closely.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
