LOCAL INSIGHT
Davenport sits in a two-state metro next to the Rock Island Arsenal
The Bi-State Regional Commission's 2025 report calls the Rock Island Arsenal the largest local employer in the region, with 4,898 civilians, 421 contractors, 601 active military, and 509 reserve members. Its workforce is 55% from Iowa and 43% from Illinois, and it supports over 14,000 more community jobs. A business in Davenport serves customers who live across the river, so its pages should name Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island too.
KWQC reported in 2023 that manufacturing employs nearly 30,000 Quad Cities workers, 16% of local jobs, with Deere at 6,400. The 2025 report adds that Deere cut more than 2,000 jobs in 2024 and that Davenport Works has 1,024 employees. It also notes a $9.4 million grant for the Davenport riverfront and a $134 million Fair Oaks Foods bacon plant expected to create nearly 250 jobs. When a big employer shrinks and a new one opens, local businesses need to keep their own search presence steady.
Rankwyre builds websites and online stores for Davenport businesses and runs the Google Maps and local listings that cover both sides of the Mississippi. A shop on the riverfront or a service company along 53rd Street gets pages that match how people there search.
