Roseland Terrace spans 2 census tracts of Baton Rouge, LA, population 5,020. Scored across those inputs it reaches 5.4/10, placing it in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 51% against 35.4% citywide, putting Roseland Terrace 15.3% over its own city.
The severe-burden share is 35%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Set annual rent against average household income of $30,273 and the ratio lands at 36%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
The poverty rate is 33%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. SNAP participation is 35.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
21.9% 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. 71% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over.
On the high side is economic stress at 8.3/10. On the softer side is supply constraint, at 2.4/10.
Average gross rent is $912, 15% below the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. That places it #1 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge. The closest comparables inside the same city are Eden Park and Goodwood Homesites.
With little internal variation, 5.4/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
