Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Bois de Lafayette

The severe-burden share is 24%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. 77% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby.

The voucher gap is 21.9%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. The poverty rate is 21%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

At $1,282 a month, rents run 17% over what the rest of Lafayette commands. On the high side, supply constraint reads 7.2/10. That is riskier than roughly 49% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 7.2/10. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. 48% of renter households spend at least 30% of income on rent.

It tracks the Lafayette Parish average of 4.0 closely.

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