College Park maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA and houses 3,218 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. The strongest single driver of the headline number is economic stress at 10/10.
The poverty rate is 74%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 34% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. 96% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
SNAP participation is 36.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Disability prevalence reaches 45.2% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $990, 7% below the Baton Rouge average of $1,067.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 38% of renter households. That places it #1 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge.
For a like-for-like read, Eden Park and Mag Terrace score within a fraction of it.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
