Analysis
What drives eviction risk in The Myrtles
The voucher gap is 34.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. The main counterweight is economic stress at 1.1/10. Cost burden runs 39% here against 50.3% across East Baton Rouge Parish.
On the softer side, rent-regulation exposure reads 1.5/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 8.4/10. The severe-burden share is 17%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment.
Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.
CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4/10. Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.
Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the least pressured. Poverty sits at 4%, low enough that arrears here usually signal a specific shock rather than a structural income gap. Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $93,125.
27% 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.
