Sherwood Forest maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA, population 7,732. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
Severe burden reaches 22%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Running cool is economic stress, at 2.2/10. Against a Baton Rouge baseline of 35.4%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Average gross rent is $1,198, 12% above the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #44 by risk, the lower third. At 8% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
For a like-for-like read, Sherwood Manor and The Shadows at White Oak score within a fraction of it. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.7/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
One tract means one number: 3/10 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.
