Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Allendale

21% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against Cumberland County at 35.8%, 27% of renters here are cost-burdened.

Running hot, court filing pressure reads 7.6/10. Against the Cumberland County average of 4.1, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.0 points.

Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 54 filings here across 3 tracked years. The worst year on record was 2000, when 8.9% of renter households were served. This ground was mapped B ("Still Desirable") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for Harrisburg. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.

In a typical year about 5.6% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 22% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 16% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 1.5/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Against average income of $106,146, annual rent is just 14%.

Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.5 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
