Sulphur Eviction Risk: Moderate

The poverty rate is 32%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 8/10.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.2/10. It sits 1.2 points above the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 25.8% against 17.8% nationally. SNAP participation runs 23.0% against 15.2% nationally.

Average gross rent is $1,115, 12% above the Sulphur average. Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 13% 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. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $62,143.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
