Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Sulphur
The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty at 2.2/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Only 19% 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. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Sulphur eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.
Social vulnerability reads 3.6/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 18% of average household income of $70,833, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
It tracks the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,056, close to the Sulphur average.
