North Mayfair Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,241 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.8/10 · range 3.8–3.8

North Mayfair maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA, population 2,241. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.8/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 56% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, far above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.

The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 17% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.

15.9% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity affects 26.4% of adults, 8.6 points above the national rate. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #41 by risk, the lower third.

The closest comparables inside the same city are Bocage and McGrath Heights. Social vulnerability runs high at 8.3/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Average gross rent runs $1,038, close to the Baton Rouge average.

Annual rent works out to 20% of average household income of $61,458. 40% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 3.8/10 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.
