Brousard Plaza maps to a single census tract in Gardere, LA and houses 3,264 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 6/10, in the Elevated tier. Against a Gardere baseline of 31.5%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 31%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with.
72% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building two streets over. 21.5% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running hot is economic stress at 8.6/10.
CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 27.2% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Average gross rent is $1,293, 12% above the Gardere average of $1,157.
One tract means one number: 6/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
