Youngsville Eviction Risk: Lower

The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.6/10.

Cost burden runs about half here against 44.6% across Lafayette Parish. The voucher gap is 15.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Severe burden reaches 9%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.9/10. That is riskier than roughly 38% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. Only 16% 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.

CDC social-vulnerability scoring puts the tract at 4.4/10. Rent consumes only 15% of average household income of $96,444, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

It tracks the Lafayette Parish average of 4.0 closely. Average gross rent is $1,216, close to the Youngsville average.

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