Beaulieu Place is a 2-tract neighborhood of Lafayette, LA, population 12,457. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.8/10, Lower tier. 44% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, well above the Lafayette rate of 30.4%.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The voucher gap is 26.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. The 2 tracts inside this boundary do not behave alike. Individual scores run 3 to 4.4, a 1.4-point gap wide enough that the area average misleads on any specific address. At $1,332 a month, rents sit 21% over what the rest of Lafayette commands.
Sitting well above the midpoint is supply constraint at 7.7/10. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Lafayette, it ranks #1 by risk, the upper third.
Rent takes 18% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 41% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.8 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
