Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Metairie
95% 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 clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10.
On the softer side, supply constraint reads 1.7/10. The poverty rate is 26%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Running cool, state political climate reads 2.3/10. Cost burden runs 53% here against 47.9% across Jefferson Parish. Average gross rent is $994, 15% below the Metairie average.
Housing insecurity runs 21.7% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 16.1% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
It sits 0.6 points above the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 8.4/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the socioeconomic standing 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.
