Prien Eviction Risk: Lower

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 1.9/10. The voucher gap is 24.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The severe-burden share is 14%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 2.3/10.

It sits 1.0 points below the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0. SNAP participation runs 8.1% against 15.2% nationally. Average gross rent is $1,428, 11% above the Prien average.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 24% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $98,706, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
