Spanish Town Eviction Risk: Moderate , Baton Rouge

The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Against East Baton Rouge Parish at 50.3%, 44% of renters here are cost-burdened. Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Severe burden reaches 11%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Food insecurity runs 25.0% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Baton Rouge eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.3/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,065, close to the Baton Rouge average. Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $46,512.

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.
