Uptown Historic District is a one-tract quarter of New Orleans, LA and houses 1,401 people. Scored across those inputs it reaches 3.9/10, placing it in the Lower tier. Against a New Orleans baseline of 35.9%, 28% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
The main counterweight is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10. The severe-burden share is 15%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay. Average gross rent is $1,470, 18% above the New Orleans average of $1,251.
Court records for this tract carry 101 eviction filings. Running cool is economic stress, at 3/10. Filing activity peaked in 2006 at 8.7% of renter households.
The most recent observed rate, 1.1% in 2013, is well off that peak. That places it #24 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans. For a like-for-like read, West End and Lakeshore score within a fraction of it.
Against average income of $110,000, annual rent is only 16%, a wide affordability cushion. 49% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
Because the boundary contains one tract, 3.9/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
