Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mclellan Heights

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 10%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 113 filings here across 6 tracked years. Food insecurity runs 10.6% against 17.8% nationally.

At $868 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Davenport commands. The worst year on record was 2005, when 4.2% of renter households were served. 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 2.1% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 44th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $67,827, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
