Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Elmwood

The score leans hardest on tenant-organizing strength at 9.9/10. Average gross rent is $1,116, 30% below the Elmwood average. On the softer side, eviction-process difficulty reads 2.1/10.

14% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.2 points. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground C ("Definitely Declining"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today. On the national scale it lands near the 72nd percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 7.1/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Statewide the LA average is 4.4, so this tract runs 1.1 points hotter. Of its three components the housing type and transport 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.
