Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Scotlandville
Food insecurity runs 53.6% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 33.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Severe burden reaches 32%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.
The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Set annual rent against average income of $23,119 and the ratio lands at 41%, above the conventional 30% ceiling.
Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.5/10. At $793 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of Baton Rouge commands.
Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Social vulnerability reads 9.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.
Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
