· range 3.7–3.7
Somerset Park maps to a single census tract in Sterlington, LA and houses 4,346 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.7/10, in the Lower tier. What pushes the score up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.1/10.
Rent consumes at least 30% of income for 28% of renter households. Running cool is eviction-process difficulty, at 2.2/10. Severe burden reaches 14%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears.
The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. At $956 a month, rents sit 11% under what the rest of Sterlington commands. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
Rent takes 17% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
