Our Take

This Davenport neighborhood presents significant challenges, primarily due to its 100% renter-occupied housing market, extremely low median household income, and high unemployment rate. Compounding these issues are a high flood risk and very limited walkability or transit options, making it difficult for residents to thrive or establish long-term stability.
