Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Square Historic District

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 6.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Scott County average of 4.8 and above the Iowa statewide average of 4.3. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 232 eviction filings here over 6 tracked years, with about 8.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 9.5% of renter households in 2004.

The tract is predominantly White and ranks around the 62nd percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
