The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #28 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Magnolia Ridge and Harwich score within a fraction of it.
Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $38,125.
55% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 5.1/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
