Green Back Forest Eviction Risk: Lower , Baton Rouge

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. 22% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

On the softer side, economic stress reads 1.5/10. The voucher gap is 22.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Against the East Baton Rouge Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads safer for landlords by 1.3 points.

Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. SNAP participation runs 4.4% against 15.2% nationally.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 4.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Nationally it ranks #67,219 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Only 6% of units are renter-occupied. Rental comparables are thin; price a renewal off the nearest genuine rental sub-market rather than off surrounding sale prices. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 1.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Against average income of $118,464, annual rent is just 15%.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
