Scott Eviction Risk: Lower

Severe burden reaches 19%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. Pulling hardest the other way is state political climate at 2.3/10. Average gross rent is $829, 21% below the Scott average.

On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.6/10. Running cool, supply constraint reads 2.9/10.

On the national scale it lands near the 40th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 14% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 4.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $74,980, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Lafayette Parish average of 4.0 closely.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
