· range 3.1–3.1
Walnut Hills maps to a single census tract in Baton Rouge, LA and houses 1,520 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.1/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
23% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Against a Baton Rouge baseline of 35.4%, 44% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.8/10.
Among the 58 mapped neighborhoods of Baton Rouge, it ranks #43 by risk, the lower third. Only 23% 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.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.1/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
