Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Trexler Park
What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.2/10. Severe burden reaches 28%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
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 nearby. The voucher gap is 23.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.
On the softer side, economic stress reads 2.1/10. Running hot, supply constraint reads 7.4/10. That is riskier than roughly 51% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.2/10. Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters. It tracks the Lehigh County average of 4.7 closely.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $97,587.
