Davenport research baseline

Davenport is ranked #3 by 2025 population among the places included for Iowa in this research pack. The U.S. Census Bureau estimated its population at 100,358 on July 1, 2025.

Recent population movement

Compared with the 2024 estimate, the population decreased by approximately 0.11%. Population change is only one part of a lifestyle decision and should not be treated as a complete quality-of-life score.

What this profile is prepared to track

The page is structured for verified affordability, housing, jobs, safety, education, healthcare, transportation, climate, entertainment, and environmental data. Until those metrics are entered and sourced, the profile is labeled as a research baseline rather than given a synthetic lifestyle score.
