Carmen Terrace is a one-tract neighborhood of Baton Rouge, LA and houses 2,979 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Severe burden reaches 32%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.1/10. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.
On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. SNAP participation is 5.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 7.9% of adults, 9.9 points below the national rate. Average gross rent is $1,206, 13% above the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge.
Against average income of $81,365, annual rent is only 18%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
