Lakeview maps to a single census tract in Allentown, NJ and houses 1,817 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10.
34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Allentown rate of 26.2%. Running cool is supply constraint, at 2.4/10. The severe-burden share is 13%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Court records for this tract carry 10 eviction filings. SNAP participation is 5.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.3% of adults, 9.5 points below the national rate.
Filing activity peaked in 2018 at 5.7% of renter households. At $1,517 a month, rents sit 9% under what the rest of Allentown commands.
At 22% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
