East Allentown Eviction Risk: Elevated

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. It sits 1.9 points above the Lehigh County average of 4.7.

The poverty rate is 18%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 41% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Lehigh County average of 45.1%.

On the national scale it lands near the 82nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Statewide the PA average is 4.6, so this tract runs 2.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. Average gross rent is $1,263, close to the Allentown average.

Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $58,425. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

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.
