Sterlington Eviction Risk: Lower

The voucher gap is 29.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 22%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. It sits 1.6 points below the Ouachita Parish average of 4.6.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 7.9/10. Running cool, economic stress reads 2.1/10. At $1,286 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Sterlington commands.

On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 15% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.8/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $89,888, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for 52% of renters.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
