Analysis
What drives eviction risk in South End District
21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
Food insecurity runs 7.2% against 17.8% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 14 evictions over 3 years of observation. Housing insecurity runs 6.0% against 14.2% nationally.
Against the Dubuque County average of 4.0, this tract reads safer for landlords by 0.8 points. Filings peaked in 2015 at 1.7% of renter households.
In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground B ("Still Desirable"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. In a typical year about 1.4% of renter households face a filing.
On the national scale it lands near the 25th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 11% 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.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
