Lakeshore Eviction Risk: Lower

2 census tracts · pop 6,400 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 3.9/10 · range 3.9–3.9

Lakeshore takes in 2 census tracts of New Orleans, LA and houses 6,400 people. The Eviction Risk Score is 3.9/10, in the Lower tier. Cost burden runs 50% against 35.9% citywide, putting Lakeshore 13.7% over its own city.

At $1,731 a month, rents sit 38% over what the rest of New Orleans commands. The severe-burden share is 29%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 1/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The voucher gap is 17.1%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears.

CDC survey data puts housing insecurity at 5.7% of adults, against 14.2% nationally. Food insecurity affects 5.9% of adults, 11.9 points below the national rate. Filings are well documented here: 19 across 2 observed tracts.

The worst year on record was 2011, when filings touched 1.8% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 0.7% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #24 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans.

The area figure travels well to individual addresses here, though the per-tract table below still carries the detail. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
