2 census tracts · pop 10,092 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3/10
· range 3–3
Miramar spans 2 census tracts of Lafayette, LA, population 10,092. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 57%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a Lafayette baseline of 30.4%, around two-thirds of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The main counterweight is economic stress, at 2.4/10.
That places it #5 of 6 neighborhoods in Lafayette. At 15% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Austin Cove and Rivergate score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 12% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. The 2 tracts here are tightly clustered, 0 points apart at the extremes. Average gross rent runs $1,037, close to the Lafayette average.
The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
