Bayou Blue Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 43.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is supply constraint at 9.4/10. Severe burden reaches 26%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 9/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $58,073, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.6/10. Food insecurity runs 28.6% against 17.8% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #50,654 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 11% 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. Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 44% of renters.
