Scott Eviction Risk: Moderate

The score leans hardest on economic stress at 9.2/10. The poverty rate is 37%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest. SNAP participation runs 34.4% against 15.2% nationally.

55% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, markedly above the Lafayette Parish average of 44.6%. At $800 a month, rents run 24% under what the rest of Scott commands.

Against the Lafayette Parish average of 4.0, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.4 points. Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 19.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Well under the midpoint, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.6/10.

That is riskier than roughly 70% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model. On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.2/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.0 points hotter. Of its three components the household composition measure is the most pressured.

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