Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Capital Heights
Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 19%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
That is riskier than roughly 47% 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.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. 49% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent. It tracks the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3 closely.
Average gross rent is $1,015, close to the Baton Rouge average. Annual rent works out to 18% of average household income of $67,083.
43% 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.
