Monroe Eviction Risk: Moderate

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 40.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. SNAP participation runs 65.7% against 15.2% nationally.

The poverty rate is 60%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. 30% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Average gross rent is $558, 37% below the Monroe average.

Well under the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1/10.

73% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. Cost burden runs 55% here against 51.0% across Ouachita Parish. It sits 0.8 points above the Ouachita Parish average of 4.6.

On the national scale it lands near the 70th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.8/10.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Annual rent works out to 27% of average household income of $24,427.
