Analysis
What drives eviction risk in French Quarter
80% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, far above the Orleans Parish average of 51.4%. Set annual rent against average income of $16,481 and the ratio lands at 67%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The score leans hardest on economic stress at 10/10.
SNAP participation runs 57.6% against 15.2% nationally. Food insecurity runs 51.5% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 49%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
100% 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. Running cool, supply constraint reads 1.2/10.
At $920 a month, rents run 26% under what the rest of New Orleans commands. Sitting well above the midpoint, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. It sits 1.3 points above the Orleans Parish average of 5.4.
Court records carry 98 eviction filings across 3 observed years.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
