Analysis

What drives eviction risk in College Square Historic District

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

At $1,191 a month, rents run 22% over what the rest of Davenport commands. On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.3/10. The voucher gap is 16.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 89 evictions over 6 years of observation. It sits 0.6 points below the Scott County average of 3.7. Filings peaked in 2015 at 5.8% of renter households.

This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Davenport. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above. In a typical year about 5.0% of renter households face a filing.

On the national scale it lands near the 22nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
