Lake Serene North maps to a single census tract in Hattiesburg, MS, population 4,291. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.
Against a Hattiesburg baseline of 30.7%, 38% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Average gross rent is $1,221, 21% above the Hattiesburg average of $1,005.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.3/10. Running cool is housing-court posture, at 2.5/10.
SNAP participation is 4.2% of households versus 15.2% nationally. 10% 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. Food insecurity affects 9.2% of adults, 8.6 points below the national rate.
That places it #10 of 11 neighborhoods in Hattiesburg. Only 26% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin here; price renewals off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices.
The closest comparables inside the same city are Oak Forrest and Innswood. Rent takes 15% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
