Financial Stress · Louisiana

Louisiana — financial stress by county

The Financial Stress Index (FSI) combines renter cost burden, eviction rate, and debt in collections into a 0–100 score. 21 of 64 Louisiana counties have all three inputs and receive a score. Because 43 counties are missing eviction data, no state-wide average is shown here — averaging across the reporting subset would be misleading. East Baton Rouge, LA has the highest score at 93.
