West End Theatre District Eviction Risk: Elevated , Allentown

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Lehigh County average of 45.1%. The score leans hardest on court filing pressure at 9.2/10.

Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $44,676, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. 73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

It sits 1.8 points above the Lehigh County average of 4.7. Court records carry 130 eviction filings across 7 observed years.

Filings peaked in 2003 at 4.0% of renter households. In a typical year about 2.9% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 82% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.5/10. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 1.9 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,321, close to the Allentown average.

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.
