Olde Town is a one-tract neighborhood of West Monroe, LA, population 2,573. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a West Monroe baseline of 26.0%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.

The strongest single driver of the headline number is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.

The poverty rate is 19%, which shows up in this model as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. On the high side is housing-court posture at 7.1/10. At $887 a month, rents sit 7% over what the rest of West Monroe commands.

Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $42,396. 38% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
