Ashland Eviction Risk: Lower

The main counterweight is supply constraint at 1.2/10. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.3/10. It sits 1.6 points below the Natchitoches Parish average of 5.1.

Well under the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 2.1/10. 10% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Nationally it ranks #57,812 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 19% 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 6.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $44,375, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 0.9 points cooler. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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.
