Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Metairie

Pulling hardest the other way is rent-regulation exposure at 1.5/10. The poverty rate is 34%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. This is renter territory: 74% of occupied units are tenant-occupied.

Annualized rent equals 33% of average household income of $39,752, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with. On the high side, economic stress reads 8.4/10.

SNAP participation runs 26.3% against 15.2% nationally. Well under the midpoint, state political climate reads 2.3/10.

Against Jefferson Parish at 47.9%, 54% of renters here are cost-burdened. Housing insecurity runs 23.3% against 14.2% nationally.

Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 0.6 points. That is riskier than roughly 59% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.

On the CDC Social Vulnerability Index the tract reads 9.7/10, which tracks how hard a shock lands on the households already here. Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured.

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.
