Analysis
What drives eviction risk in McGrath Heights
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.
That is riskier than roughly 40% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Statute speed, court posture and rent-regulation exposure are inherited from Baton Rouge eviction risk rather than measured on these blocks; the economic and supply components are the tract-level part of the score.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,129, close to the Baton Rouge average. Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $59,909. 51% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
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.
