Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2013 against a 3.4% peak. That places it #21 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans. Social vulnerability runs high at 7.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input.
Annual rent works out to 29% of average household income of $57,586.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.7/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
