Magellan Place maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA and houses 3,678 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.8/10, Moderate tier. 55% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.
Severe burden reaches 29%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. At $1,138 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of Baton Rouge commands. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #29 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, Park Forest and Greenville 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 28% of average household income of $48,272. 56% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
One tract means one number: 4.8/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
