Trexler Park Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,305 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.5/10 · range 4.5–4.5

Trexler Park maps to a single census tract in Allentown, PA, population 3,305. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.5/10, in the Moderate tier. Average gross rent is $1,867, 42% above the Allentown average of $1,317.

Severe burden reaches 28%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. 69% 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.

Cost burden runs 44% against 35.0% citywide, putting Trexler Park 8.8% over its own city. The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.4/10. That places it #25 of 26 neighborhoods in Allentown.

For a like-for-like read, West End and Alton Park score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $97,587.

One tract means one number: 4.5/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
