The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10. Food insecurity runs 67.4% against 17.8% nationally.

Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Against the Lafayette Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. That is riskier than roughly 63% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured. 47% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
