Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lafayette
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
The poverty rate is 19%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10. Average gross rent is $1,000, 9% below the Lafayette average.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 17% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.1/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Rent consumes only 16% of average household income of $75,089, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. 45% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.
All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
