Garden District takes in 6 census tracts of New Orleans, LA and houses 10,479 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1.5/10.
The severe-burden share is 18%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. 30% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, below the New Orleans rate of 35.9%.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Court records carry 565 eviction filings across its 6 observed tracts.
SNAP participation is 5.8% of households versus 15.2% nationally. At $1,414 a month, rents sit 13% over what the rest of New Orleans commands.
Filing activity peaked in 2009 at 9.9% of renter households. 4.7% of adults carry no health insurance against 11.3% nationally, a common route into sudden unpayable debt.
The most recent observed rate, 1.3% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #24 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans.
For a like-for-like read, West End and Lakeshore score within a fraction of it. Against average income of $110,313, annual rent is only 15%, a wide affordability cushion.
Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
With little internal variation, 3.9/10 is a fair proxy for any address inside the boundary. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
