Fairlane takes in 2 census tracts of Bayou Blue, LA, population 4,772. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.2/10, Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 16% against 38.5% citywide, putting Fairlane 22.1% under its own city.
Pulling the other way is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. Running hot is housing-court posture at 7.5/10. On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.4/10.
The poverty rate is 17%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. The severe-burden share is 9%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At 14% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. Its 2 tracts score within 0.4 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
Average gross rent runs $1,059, close to the Bayou Blue average. Annual rent works out to 26% of average household income of $49,467.
With little internal variation, 4.2/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
