Warehouse District is a 11-tract neighborhood of New Orleans, LA, population 15,109. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 5.2/10, in the Moderate tier. Against a New Orleans baseline of 35.9%, about half of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line.
Scores across the 11 constituent tracts range from 3.9 to 6.7. A 2.8-point internal spread means block-level underwriting beats area-level here. Severe burden reaches 27%. A tenant at that level absorbs no shock: one cut shift or one repair bill converts directly into arrears. Pulling the other way is rent-regulation exposure, at 2.5/10.
The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Filings are well documented here: 1,118 across 9 observed tracts. 14.8% of adults report being unable to pay a utility bill, against a 9.2% national figure. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two.
The worst year on record was 2012, when filings touched 10.0% of renter households. The most recent observed rate, 2.7% in 2013, is well off that peak.
That places it #18 of 29 neighborhoods in New Orleans. Average gross rent runs $1,243, close to the New Orleans average.
Annual rent works out to 23% of average household income of $65,293. 64% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
For a specific building, read the per-tract breakdown below rather than the 5.2 headline, because the internal range is too wide to average safely. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
