Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Gretna
Against the Jefferson Parish average of 4.3, this tract reads riskier for landlords by 3.0 points. The dominant input is rent-regulation exposure at 9.6/10. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10.
Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 9.1/10. Annualized rent equals 34% of average household income of $34,760, past the 30% affordability line, which thins the margin any screening standard has to work with.
58% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, well above the Jefferson Parish average of 47.9%. The poverty rate is 23%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than filing counts suggest.
Housing insecurity runs 21.8% against 14.2% nationally. Inability to pay a utility bill runs 15.0% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. This ground was mapped C ("Definitely Declining") on the 1930s HOLC security maps for New Orleans. That grading determined who could get a mortgage, and its imprint on tenure and rent burden is still visible in the ACS data above.
That is riskier than roughly 87% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
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.
