Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,073, close to the Baton Rouge average.
Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $42,167. 42% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
