Mag Terrace takes in 2 census tracts of Baton Rouge, LA and houses 5,031 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 5.4/10, Moderate tier. Against a Baton Rouge baseline of 35.4%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The severe-burden share is 37%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.5/10. The poverty rate is 39%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.
78% 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. Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. SNAP participation is 34.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally.
Well under the midpoint is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 26.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally.
Running cool is supply constraint, at 3/10. Average gross rent is $977, 8% below the Baton Rouge average of $1,067.
That places it #1 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge. For a like-for-like read, Eden Park and Goodwood Homesites score within a fraction of it.
The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
