Goodwood Homesites Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 4,088 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 5.4/10 · range 5.4–5.4

Goodwood Homesites is a one-tract neighborhood of Baton Rouge, LA, population 4,088. The Eviction Risk Score is 5.4/10, in the Moderate tier. 66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well clear of the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.

SNAP participation is 41.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Severe burden reaches 30%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.

Annualized rent equals 38% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. 81% 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. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.

The poverty rate is 23%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.

Disability prevalence reaches 46.1% against a 31.5% national average, which raises the odds a reasonable-accommodation request accompanies any dispute. Average gross rent is $909, 15% below the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Eden Park and Melrose Place.

One tract means one number: 5.4/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
