Zeeland Place Eviction Risk: Lower

1 census tracts · pop 2,642 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10 · range 3–3

Zeeland Place is a one-tract neighborhood of Baton Rouge, LA and houses 2,642 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3/10, in the Lower tier. 52% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, markedly above the Baton Rouge rate of 35.4%.

Average gross rent is $1,568, 47% above the Baton Rouge average of $1,067. The clearest offset is economic stress, at 1.4/10. The voucher gap is 28.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. The severe-burden share is 16%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. On the high side is supply constraint at 7.8/10.

SNAP participation is 4.5% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 3.9% 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. For a like-for-like read, Sherwood Manor and The Shadows at White Oak score within a fraction of it.

Poverty sits at 5%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $82,888.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 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.
