New Iberia Eviction Risk: Lower

36% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

On the high side, housing-court posture reads 7.6/10. At $746 a month, rents run 17% under what the rest of New Iberia commands. It sits 0.9 points below the Iberia Parish average of 4.4.

That is riskier than roughly 31% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 6.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Rent consumes only 12% of average household income of $75,050, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
