Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Marrero

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 29.4% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Set annual rent against average income of $33,313 and the ratio lands at 38%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. Disability prevalence runs 50.4% against 31.5% nationally.

The score leans hardest on local political climate at 8.6/10. The poverty rate is 34%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.

Sitting well above the midpoint, economic stress reads 8.6/10. The severe-burden share is 20%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, housing-court posture reads 8.1/10.

It sits 1.4 points above the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). 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. Nationally it ranks #21,564 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

Social vulnerability reads 8.2/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

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