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. Food insecurity runs 45.5% against 17.8% nationally. What pushes it up most is economic stress at 9.8/10.

Set annual rent against average income of $24,911 and the ratio lands at 43%, above the conventional 30% ceiling. The poverty rate is 39%, which in this model reads as reduced rent-recovery odds after a judgment. Running hot, tenant-organizing strength reads 9.2/10.

In the 1930s the federal Home Owners' Loan Corporation graded this ground D ("Hazardous").

Nationally it ranks #11,153 of 84,120 for landlord eviction difficulty.

These are ACS 5-year estimates; the score moves when the ACS, court-record, or statute inputs behind it move.
