Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Houma
84% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well clear of the Terrebonne Parish average of 36.9%. The score leans hardest on rent-regulation exposure at 8.4/10. Running hot, housing-court posture reads 7.9/10.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. At $939 a month, rents run 11% under what the rest of Houma commands.
That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 18% 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. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 2.9/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.
Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Terrebonne Parish average of 4.0 closely.
Annual rent works out to 19% of average household income of $57,917.
These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
