Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

The voucher gap is 33.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Running hot is supply constraint at 8.4/10. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #37 by risk, the middle third.
For a like-for-like read, South Broadmoor and Bocage score within a fraction of it. Annual rent works out to 32% of average household income of $61,508. 57% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 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.
