Audobon Trace spans 3 census tracts of Lafayette, LA and houses 11,330 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.5/10, in the Lower tier. The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Lafayette baseline of 30.4%, 41% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.2, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. 12% 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.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Well under the midpoint is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Lafayette, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. Rent takes 14% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Average gross rent runs $1,036, close to the Lafayette average. 29% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.5 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
