Historical context · 1930s redlining

HOLC grade: D: Hazardous (Redlined)

This tract sits within an area graded by the Home Owners' Loan Corporation in the 1930s. Grade D meant Black, immigrant, and poor neighborhoods systematically denied mortgage credit. These designations suppressed minority homeownership for generations and remain a documented predictor of present-day eviction filings and rent burden.

Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Leonidas

What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 8.4/10. At $1,391 a month, rents run 27% over what the rest of Jefferson commands.

Running cool, eviction-process difficulty reads 2/10. The poverty rate is 24%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment.

On the softer side, state political climate reads 2.3/10. It sits 0.9 points above the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3. In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous"). Redlining cut off mortgage credit to whole blocks for decades, and the areas graded D still carry measurably lower ownership and higher rent burden today.

Nationally it ranks #29,336 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty. Social vulnerability reads 9.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Of its three components the housing type and transport measure is the most pressured. Rent takes 30% or more of income for about half of renters. Annual rent works out to 28% of average household income of $58,580.

52% of occupied units are renter-occupied.
