Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bungalow Park

Against Lehigh County at 45.1%, around two-thirds of renters here are cost-burdened. The dominant input is court filing pressure at 9.2/10.

Running cool, economic stress reads 1.7/10. Against the Lehigh County average of 4.7, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.7 points.

On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

The filing record is not thin: 23 evictions over 7 years of observation. At $1,742 a month, rents run 10% under what the rest of Dorneyville commands.

The worst year on record was 2005, when 3.2% of renter households were served. In a typical year about 1.2% of renter households face a filing. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 17% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 3.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $135,729, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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.
