Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Mag Terrace

The score leans hardest on economic stress at $1/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from Baton Rouge eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the East Baton Rouge County average of 5.0 and above the Louisiana statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.

In CDC survey modeling, about 23.2% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 18.5% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.

The tract is Black and White and ranks around the 54th percentile nationally on the CDC Social Vulnerability Index, a measure of how exposed residents are to housing and economic shocks. That is a middle-of-the-pack reading for social vulnerability.

For a landlord, conditions here are middle-of-the-road. Standard screening and prompt, documented notices usually keep cases short.
