Pearl River Eviction Risk: Moderate

Pulling hardest the other way is supply constraint at 1/10. Average gross rent is $854, 27% below the Pearl River average.

Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 1.9/10. Against the St. Tammany Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 28.3% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Only 15% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.3/10.

Rent consumes only 17% of average household income of $60,242, an unusually wide affordability cushion.

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