Park Place Eviction Risk: Moderate , Lake Charles

62% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Calcasieu Parish average of 43.1%. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10. The poverty rate is 43%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Annualized rent equals 37% of average household income of $35,338, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.

Food insecurity runs 34.0% against 17.8% nationally. 66% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Against the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.1 points. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

On the national scale it lands near the 63rd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 8.1/10. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the most pressured.

Average gross rent is $1,078, close to the Lake Charles average.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
