Franklin Park Eviction Risk: Elevated
1 census tracts · pop 6,295 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.6/10 · range 6.6–6.6
Franklin Park maps to a single census tract in Allentown, PA, population 6,295. The Eviction Risk Score is 6.6/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 51%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Allentown baseline of 35.0%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. 79% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. Set annual rent against average household income of $41,769 and the ratio lands at 34%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 24%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. The main counterweight is supply constraint, at 2.8/10.
The filing record is not thin: 911 evictions logged in this tract. The worst year on record was 2006, when filings touched 15.4% of renter households.
Average gross rent is $1,177, 11% below the Allentown average of $1,317. Among the 26 mapped neighborhoods of Allentown, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Judgments average 7.0% of renter households a year, the share of filings that actually convert to an order.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Sacred Heart and Union Terrace. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.5/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.6/10 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.
