Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Leonidas
The heaviest input here is economic stress at 8.9/10. That part is specific to this tract, computed from its own rent, income, and poverty figures. Statewide and court-level factors such as eviction-process speed and rent-control exposure are inherited from New Orleans eviction risk, while the economic and supply signals are measured at the tract level.
Set against its neighbors, this tract scores above the Orleans County average of 5.7 and above the Louisiana statewide average of 4.9. Within its own county it reads on the riskier side for landlords.
Princeton's Eviction Lab logged 218 eviction filings here over 8 tracked years, with about 5.4% of renter households facing a filing in a typical year. Filings peaked at 10.4% of renter households in 2006.
In CDC survey modeling, about 28.6% of adults here said they could not pay rent or mortgage at some point in the past year, and 22.3% faced a utility shutoff threat, a common early warning before a filing.
For a landlord, this is a tract where process discipline pays off. Clean paperwork and steady screening keep the elevated risk manageable.
