Abstract

The "Quad Cities" are referred to by the Bureau of the Census as the Davenport-Rock Island-Moline, Iowa-Illinois Metropolitan Statistical Area. The 1990 Census indicated there were 384,749 persons living within the Quad Cities Metropolitan area. Although the name "Quad Cities" implies four, there are actually twenty-one contiguous cities, towns, and villages which span the Mississippi River between Iowa and Illinois existing as one community. Specific population data on the five major cities which make up the Quad Cities may be found in Table I-1. According to 1980 Census figures, persons identified as having a public transportation disability amounted to 2.9% of the urban population. This would be 2.9% of 384,749, which amounts to 11,157. Because the 1990 Census does not have similar percentages available, the 1980 Census figure will be used for demand considerations within this plan.
