Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Park Forest

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Food insecurity runs 29.5% against 17.8% nationally. 13% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

The poverty rate is 20%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 18.8% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.

Running cool, supply constraint reads 3.1/10. Nationally it ranks #35,669 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 5.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. It tracks the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3 closely.

Average gross rent is $985, close to the Baton Rouge average.

All figures here are ACS 5-year estimates for this tract, refreshed as the underlying releases land.
