Allendale maps to a single census tract in Lower Allen, PA, population 4,990. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.1/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10.
21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. roughly one in four of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Lower Allen rate of 31.8%.
The filing record is not thin: 54 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 8.9% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 3.7% in 2004, is well off that peak.
Only 16% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 1%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Average gross rent runs $1,210, close to the Lower Allen average.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
