Greenville spans 5 census tracts of New Orleans, LA and houses 7,668 people. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. The severe-burden share is 28%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
At $1,660 a month, rents sit 33% over what the rest of New Orleans commands. 45% of renters here are cost-burdened at the 30% threshold, higher than the New Orleans rate of 35.9%.
The clearest offset is economic stress, at 2/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. Filings are well documented here: 236 across 5 observed tracts.
Food insecurity affects 6.5% of adults, 11.3 points below the national rate. 4.1% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, below a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The voucher gap is 12.3%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Filing activity peaked in 2012 at 12.9% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.5% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #24 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans. The closest comparables inside the same city are West End and Lakeshore.
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.
