Lamarche is a 2-tract neighborhood of Little Rock, AR, population 7,670. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. The voucher gap is 50.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.
The dominant input is supply constraint at 9.8/10. Average gross rent is $1,556, 41% above the Little Rock average of $1,106. Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Running cool is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 21% 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.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.9% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. 34% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, ahead of the Little Rock rate of 29.6%. 5.0% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
Among the 21 mapped neighborhoods of Little Rock, it ranks #20 by risk, the lower third. At 28% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Wildwood Ridge and Tall Timbers West score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $149,535, annual rent is only 12%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 3%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 3/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
