Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Grandview District

The main counterweight is eviction-process difficulty at 2.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

On the high side, tenant-organizing strength reads 7.4/10. The filing record is not thin: 49 evictions over 3 years of observation.

Food insecurity runs 10.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 0.7 points above the Dubuque County average of 4.0. The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.0% of renter households were served.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). 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 2.6% of renter households face a filing. Nationally it ranks #37,882 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
