Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Metairie

76% of occupied units are rented, so comparables are plentiful and vacancy risk is low, but a mispriced renewal loses the tenant to a building nearby. The poverty rate is 27%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. 12% are severely burdened past the 50% mark. That cohort absorbs no shock: one repair bill or one cut shift converts straight into arrears. Well under the midpoint, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.5/10.

Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. On the national scale it lands near the 59th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. Social vulnerability reads 6.8/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. Average gross rent is $1,102, close to the Metairie average.

Annual rent works out to 24% of average household income of $55,417.

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