Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mag Terrace

What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

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 nearby. Annualized rent equals 36% of average household income of $37,055, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.5% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Housing insecurity runs 23.2% against 14.2% nationally. Nationally it ranks #24,859 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 5.9/10. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.

Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

Average gross rent is $1,110, close to the Baton Rouge average.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
