Analysis
What drives eviction risk in New Orleans
Set annual rent against average income of $18,125 and the ratio lands at 73%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 10/10.
Inability to pay a utility bill runs 34.9% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. Food insecurity runs 54.9% against 17.8% nationally. The poverty rate is 53%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.
The severe-burden share is 21%, and it is the single best predictor in this model of a filing that actually reaches judgment. On the high side, regional political climate reads 8.4/10. Running hot, local political climate reads 8/10.
Against the Orleans Parish average of 5.4, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 1.3 points. The filing record is not thin: 35 evictions over 7 years of observation. Average gross rent is $1,101, 12% below the New Orleans average.
Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
