Green Back Forest maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA, population 3,744. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.
Average gross rent is $1,494, 40% above the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 23%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. SNAP participation is 4.4% of households versus 15.2% nationally. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.2/10.
3.9% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge.
At 6% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. The closest comparables inside the same city are Centurion Place and Sherwood Manor. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
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.
