· range 4.2–6.7
Faubourg St. John spans 3 census tracts of New Orleans, LA and houses 7,484 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a New Orleans baseline of 35.9%, 54% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Severe burden reaches 26%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Internally this is not one market. Tract scores span 4.2 to 6.7, so two buildings inside the same boundary can carry materially different risk. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 18%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 331 across 3 observed tracts.
Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 6.5% of renter households. At $1,372 a month, rents sit 10% over what the rest of New Orleans commands. The most recent observed rate, 2.0% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #18 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans. For a like-for-like read, Warehouse District and Broadmoor score within a fraction of it.
Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $54,183. 60% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Underwrite the address, not the area: with 2.5 points between its best and worst tract, the per-tract table below is the operative number. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
