The Shadows at White Oak takes in 2 census tracts of Baton Rouge, LA, population 5,508. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. At $457 a month, rents sit 57% under what the rest of Baton Rouge commands.
The severe-burden share is 26%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Against a Baton Rouge baseline of 35.4%, 26% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
SNAP participation is 7.0% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 4.6% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
That places it #44 of 58 neighborhoods in Baton Rouge. Only 5% 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, Centurion Place and Sherwood Manor score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $156,163, annual rent is only 4%, a wide affordability cushion. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
