Bois de Lafayette takes in 2 census tracts of Lafayette, LA and houses 8,844 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.5/10, placing it in the Lower tier. 43% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, clearly above the Lafayette rate of 30.4%.
31% 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. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. Scores across the 2 constituent tracts range from 3 to 4.4. A 1.4-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here.
Well under the midpoint is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. On the softer side is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Among the 6 mapped neighborhoods of Lafayette, it ranks #3 by risk, the middle third. For a like-for-like read, Audobon Trace and Beaulieu Place score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $91,052, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion. Average gross rent runs $1,111, close to the Lafayette average. 52% 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. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
