Happy Hollow Heights Eviction Risk: Moderate

What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 1.8/10.

On the high side is housing-court posture at 8.2/10. The 3 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 4.3 to 5.4, a 1.1-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. The poverty rate is 16%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

At $968 a month, rents sit 10% under what the rest of Lafayette commands. Among the 15 mapped neighborhoods of Lafayette, it ranks #6 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Wallace Triangle and Norma Jean Addition score within a fraction of it.

Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 46% 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. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
