Laurel Grove Eviction Risk: Moderate , Monroe

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1/10. 27% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears.

This is renter territory: 82% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Annualized rent equals 35% of average household income of $35,802, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

At $1,050 a month, rents run 19% over what the rest of Monroe commands. Running cool, tenant-organizing strength reads 3/10.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 14.2% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 42nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 6.5/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the household composition measure is the least pressured. It tracks the Ouachita Parish average of 4.6 closely.

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