· range 5.2–5.2
Allen Lane maps to a single census tract in Philadelphia, PA and houses 3,956 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a Philadelphia baseline of 31.4%, 16% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.4/10. On the high side is eviction-process difficulty at 7.5/10. The filing record is not thin: 135 evictions logged in this tract.
Sitting well above the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength at 7.5/10. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 9.3% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 5.3% in 2016, is well off that peak.
That places it #125 of 152 neighborhoods in Philadelphia. Rent takes 16% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Average gross rent runs $1,470, close to the Philadelphia average.
41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.2/10 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.
