Allen Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 7,612 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Allen is a one-tract neighborhood of Draper, UT and houses 7,612 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The voucher gap is 35.4%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1/10. 22% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 8.5/10.

Average gross rent is $2,367, 25% above the Draper average of $1,894. Cost burden runs 22% against 29.2% citywide, putting Allen 6.8% under its own city. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.1/10.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 6.1% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. The filing record is not thin: 61 evictions logged in this tract.

Food insecurity affects 6.7% of adults, 11.1 points below the national rate. The worst year on record was 2008, when filings touched 4.7% of renter households.

The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2016, is well off that peak.

One tract means one number: 3/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
