Greinwich Village spans 3 census tracts of Lake Charles, LA and houses 13,332 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.6/10, Moderate tier. 46% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Lake Charles rate of 34.6%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
SNAP participation is 34.3% of households versus 15.2% nationally. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.8% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. The 3 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0.8 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,151, close to the Lake Charles average.
Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $53,539. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
