A survey found that 71% of Americans would live in a haunted house, with ghosts not being the scariest concern for homeowners, a trending topic in Davenport-Rock Island-Moline.
Davenport Rock Island Moline, IA, October 24, 2026 —
A survey found that 71% of Americans would be willing to live in a haunted house, according to a trend gaining attention in the Davenport-Rock Island-Moline area. The summary of the finding also says ghosts were not homeowners’ scariest concern, but it does not identify what concern ranked higher.
Details about the survey are limited. The survey’s organizer, the date it was conducted, the number of people surveyed and the wording of its questions were not provided. The available information also does not explain how respondents defined a haunted house or whether the question referred to a personal belief in ghosts, a home’s reputation or another interpretation.
The 71% figure describes respondents’ stated willingness to live in such a home. The information provided does not say whether participants had lived in one, encountered reported paranormal activity or considered a specific property. It also does not include a breakdown by age, location or other characteristics.
Although the finding contrasts willingness to live in a haunted house with concern about ghosts, the survey summary offers no further detail about homeowners’ other concerns. It does not say whether those concerns involved the condition of a home, its cost or any other factor, so the comparison cannot be explained more specifically from the available information.
The topic is trending in Davenport-Rock Island-Moline, but no local survey results or regional comparisons were included. As a result, the reported 71% applies to Americans overall as described in the summary; the available information does not establish whether residents of the Davenport-Rock Island-Moline area answered differently.
