Amber Trace is a one-tract neighborhood of Slidell, LA and houses 4,575 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, in the Moderate tier. Cost burden runs 58% against 34.2% citywide, putting Amber Trace 23.5% over its own city.
21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. The clearest offset is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10.
On the high side is rent-regulation exposure at 7.7/10. Sitting well above the midpoint is housing-court posture at 7.3/10.
That places it #2 of 4 neighborhoods in Slidell. At 26% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out.
Average gross rent runs $1,337, close to the Slidell average. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $52,776.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
