West End takes in 3 census tracts of Metairie, LA and houses 11,496 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 3.3/10, Lower tier. Average gross rent is $678, 42% below the Metairie average of $1,175.
The clearest offset is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. 39% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the Metairie rate of 29.8%.
19% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 3 to 4.1, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Running cool is tenant-organizing strength, at 2.5/10.
Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 2.6/10. Rent takes 11% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. 34% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 3.3 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
