Portie Town Eviction Risk: Moderate , Sulphur

Pulling hardest the other way is eviction-process difficulty at 2.2/10. 18% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Disability prevalence runs 44.3% against 31.5% nationally.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 23%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

Against the Calcasieu Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Food insecurity runs 26.7% against 17.8% nationally. That is riskier than roughly 65% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

Only 25% 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. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Sulphur eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.8/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Average gross rent is $935, close to the Sulphur average. Annual rent works out to 25% of average household income of $44,973.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
