La Belle Aire is a one-tract neighborhood of Baton Rouge, LA, population 6,059. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. 69% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.
Severe burden reaches 37%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The dominant input is economic stress at 9.9/10. SNAP participation is 56.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Food insecurity affects 55.5% of adults, 37.7 points above the national rate. The poverty rate is 40%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 66% 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. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.7/10.
At $940 a month, rents sit 12% under what the rest of Baton Rouge commands. 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. Social vulnerability runs high at 9.4/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 31% of average household income of $35,819.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 5.4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
