Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Perkins Place
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. 17% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3. On the national scale it lands near the 65th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.
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 5.6/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured.
Average gross rent is $1,102, close to the Baton Rouge average. Annual rent works out to 22% of average household income of $60,318.
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.
