Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Plum Orchard
What moves this score most is economic stress at 6.5/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures.

Set against its neighbors, this tract scores about the same as the Orleans County average of 5.7 and above the Louisiana statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
During 2020 and 2021, eviction filings here ran at about 1.22x the pre-COVID monthly baseline, roughly back to the pre-pandemic baseline.
