Laurel Grove maps to a single census tract in Monroe, LA and houses 3,227 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4/10, in the Moderate tier. 66% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, dramatically above the Monroe rate of 41.5%.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10. This is a renter market: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. 27% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate.
Set annual rent against average household income of $35,802 and the ratio lands at 35%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Average gross rent is $1,050, 19% above the Monroe average of $886.
On the softer side is tenant-organizing strength, at 3/10. 14.2% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 3/10.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
