Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Cost burden runs 39% against 30.3% citywide, putting Robertsdale 8.2% over its own city. Running hot is tenant-organizing strength at 8.1/10.
The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.2 to 5.3, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. At $969 a month, rents sit 15% under what the rest of Hammond commands. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.1/10.
Among the 16 mapped neighborhoods of Hammond, it ranks #9 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Pulaski Park and Eastgate score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $64,967, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion.
38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 1.1 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
