Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Lake Charles
The dominant input is supply constraint at 10/10. Average gross rent is $2,308, 108% above the Lake Charles average.
The voucher gap is 101.8%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, rent-regulation exposure reads 1/10. Well under the midpoint, economic stress reads 1/10.
Severe burden reaches 14%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate. SNAP participation runs 4.8% against 15.2% nationally.
It sits 1.0 points below the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0. Housing insecurity runs 6.8% against 14.2% nationally.
That is riskier than roughly 20% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. At 18% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.
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.
