1 census tracts · pop 2,753 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Riverbend maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA, population 2,753. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 30%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 30% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%. On the softer side is economic stress, at 2.9/10.
SNAP participation is 5.9% of households versus 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 8.6% of adults, 9.2 points below the national rate. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 3/10.
At $977 a month, rents sit 8% under what the rest of Baton Rouge commands. That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge.
Only 21% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. For a like-for-like read, Sherwood Manor and The Shadows at White Oak score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 7% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
